Vita Et Mortem - Shadowland

As the sun is fading in front of your eyes

Close your eyes and remember the first breath you took

The smell of fresh air

The liquid taste of baby tears

A new born child materializes from nowhere

For many there is one straight path in life

But for you and me it is crooked

The deep blue sea is replaced by hollow tears

The hope for change replaced by the deepest fears

Vita et Mortem

Life is the end

Mors Principium Est

Death is the beginning

Devorantis in aeternum

Devours eternity

In laqueum et mortale hoc spiram

Trapped in this mortal coil

Vita et Mortem

Life is the end

Mors Principium Est

Death is the beginning

As your tongue just begins to articulate

As soon as your conscious is bestowed

Only decades after you’ll fade away and turn to ashes

Wrinkles on your solemn face

And the birthmark of your soul

Constantly reminds you

That the end comes closer (each day)

Beloved ones disappear

No common thread is running through

Just cuts off the red line!

Vita et Mortem

Growl:

How can God tolerate

All this suffering in vein?

Abandoned by the shell of it all

Throws you into the mire

The struggle to accept the essence

Yet you fall into this trap

The failure to beseech you

Demons haunt you in your dreams

Vita et Mortem

Mors Principium Est

The damage inside changes your curse

In sleepless nights beneath the stars

The streaming waters connect this loop

Each night

A path of darkness that finally

Will lead the light

Vita et Mortem

Life is the end

Mors Principium Est

Death is the beginning

Devorantis in aeternum

Devours eternity

In laqueum et mortale hoc spiram

Trapped in this mortal coil
