Memento Mori (The Reconnaissance Mission)

What secrets are hidden in the hearts of the falling stars Why is time frozen in the presence of the undead shadows Crystal white stars are falling In the pale, icy midnight Like a looming shadow that speaks Of what is to come A black cloud Which looms O'er the horizon And again I'm afraid of the Memento Mori Remember that you shalt die For I have been acquainted with the night I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right I have been one acquainted with the night Suddenly night crushed out the day Then fell a stillness such as harks appalled When far-gone dead return upon the world There watched I for the Dead; but no ghost awoke There is not a dawn in eastern skies To rift the fiery night But there, where western glooms gather softly in the darkness Then falls thine shadow The shadow of Death Remember that you shalt die For I have been acquainted with the night I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right I have been one acquainted with the night
