Truth Among Ashes - A Reminder We All Die

I stare into the ether
And I can't help but wonder
If we can make a difference
In the little time that we have
We all take things for granted
Material possessions
And people we encounter
We may never see again
Time has taken everything
That's why I never say goodbye
For every soul that has been lost
A new one is found
Trying to claw
Its way out
For everybody on this Earth
Time is running out
From the very moment we are born we're doomed to die
So what's the purpose of this life
No matter where we end up
Whether it's hell or heaven
Or after death there's nothing
Let's live a life worth living
The sand is slowly falling
For you a memento mori
Life is so precious because
It has to come to an end
Bombs and weapons, deadly relics
Left behind from centuries of war
Illness, famine, homeless children
And leaders who don't care
How much can be done
Before my life is gone
To make some kind of change
Before I waste my life away
I have to accept the fact
That some day in the future
You will no longer be here
You'll drift away
The sand is slowly falling
For you a memento mori
Life is so precious because
It has to come to a cruel end
Guide my soul
From this Earth
Into the sky
Forever
A reminder we all die
Keeps me from wasting all my life
Time has taken everything
That's why I never say goodbye
