Memento homo quia pulvis es (memento)
Memento homo quia pulvis es (homo quia pulvis es)
Et in pulverem reverteris
While the night is falling down on the souls
Of men fighting for their rights
And there are innocent children enslaved
By the mad
But still remain ludicrous temples and statues
Remnants of ancient folly and pain
And their religions as hard as the stone
In their shrines
But men forgot that even stones
Will turn to sand (in the end)
And men forgot that their beliefs
Will vanish like dust (in the wind)
But still they believe there's a god to listen
To our prayers and our tears
Dust we are, as dust we fall
Slaves to the will of the capricious winds
Dust we are, as dust we fall
Sooner or later we're cast away, away
When the fools think they detain the truth
And cast anathemas to each other
Waging their wars in the name of the love
They denied
Look at their crosses and crescents and stars
Childish symbols of faith and of pride
Covering the walls of our homes and our hearts
Deaf and blind
But in the end nothing will remain
Of us nor them (on earth)
Nature will take it all
The stars will follow their path (ignoring us)
Our flesh and our bones, our pride and our plots
Will vanish in the wind
Dust we are, as dust we fall
Slaves to the will of the capricious winds
Dust we are, as dust we fall
Sooner or later we lose the game
