Memento Mori

Flyleaf Memento Mori Lyrics
1.Beautiful Bride

Unified diversity
Functioning as one body
Every part encouraged by the other
No one independent of another
Irreplaceable, indispensable
You're incredible, incredible

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

Strengthen your arms now
Train your fingers for battle
Urgency's here now
Train your fingers for battle
Fighting this violence
With your feet wrapped in peace
Sad tears and silence
Now screams of joy, victory

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
We're not gonna fall and forget
How far You went to pick us up
If one part's hurt the whole body's sick
If one part mourns we all mourn with Him
Rejoice, and we'll sing with You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride


2.Again

I love the way that your heart breaks
With every injustice and deadly fates
Praying it all will be new
And living like it all depends on you Oh

Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you, please see and believe again

I love that you're never satisfied
With face-value wisdom and happy lies
You take what they say and go back and cry
You're so close to me that you nearly died Oh

Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you, please see and believe again

They don't have to understand you, be still
Wait and know I understand you, be still,
Be still

Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
The flood gates are breaking, they're pouring out

Here you are down on your knees
Trying to find air to breathe
Right where I want you to be again
I love you, please see and believe again

Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe


3.Chasm

Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them

Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them

Please give me something
I'm so thirsty,
I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here,
Don't bring anyone here

The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper,
Living water
The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper,
Living water

Please give me something
I'm so thirsty,
I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here,
Don't bring anyone here


Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Please give me something
I'm so thirsty,
I'm so thirsty
Oh please, let me warn them
Don't you come here,
Don't bring anyone here


4.Missing

I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me

Oh something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone

Found something sweet
On the island with daughters of Eve
But through thick and thin
They've gone away and only left their grief

Oh something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
(Something missing in me)

Down here love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
All is vanity underneath the sun,All is vanity

Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me
As lovers left me to bleed alone

Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me


5.This Close

Had a dream that we were dead
But we pretended that we still lived
With no regrets we never bled
And we took everything life could give

And came up broken empty handed in the end
In the hearts of the blind,
Something you'll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I'm screaming

I don't know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I've been looking in your window
I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can't go on

Had a dream that fire fell
From an opening in the sky
Someone warned me of this hell,
And I spit in his naive eye
And left him crying for my soul he said would die

In the hearts of the blind
Something you'll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead I'm screaming

I don't know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I've been looking in your window
I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can't go on

In the hearts of the blind,
Something you'll never find
Is a vision of light
With the voice of the dead, I'm screaming

I don't know who I am anymore
Not once in life have I been real
But I never felt this close before
I've been looking in your window
I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can't go on

I've been looking in your window
I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been walking dead, watching you
Long enough to know I can't go on


6.The Kind

It's like being in love
You rob your own mind and defile your bed
You ignore the fate of the players who
Both end up dead

And you pretend for us
And you pretend for them
This fairytale will make them jealous of you

But it's not the kind,
The kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind
She is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it,
You wanna cut it off
But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do

But it's not the kind,
The kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind
She is feeding you and you lie with her
And for the first time your right arm becomes useful
As you sin with it,
You wanna cut it off
But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do

You cut the cord today
With God's hand to hold yours steady
He waits for you to apply the pressure
The warmth of His breath wrapped in his words
As He repeats His truth after truth after truth after truth ...

But it's just the kind,
The kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ
He is feeding you and you know the truth
And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you

And it's just the kind,
The kind that you talked about
And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ
He is feeding you and you know the truth
And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you
I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister
I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry Father
I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister
I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody


7.In The Dark

I've written songs (in the dark)
I've felt inspired (in the dark)
I hide myself (in the dark)
Used to be afraid (of the dark)
Those in the light know we die (in the dark)

There's only artificial light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence
Fill this space, idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did

Now I'm mute, despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me
And I am left to face me

I'm held accountable for every idle word
Curse the idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did

Glory shows up, exposes us
I'm naked here, forsaken here
By the dark, by the dark

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did, like you did


8.Set Apart This Dream

Close your eyes, little girl
You're a princess now,
You own this world
Twirling in your twirly dress
You're the loveliest,
Far above the rest

You build your castles in the skies
Stars reflecting off your eyes
And angels sing on silver clouds
And no one cries,
Screams or shouts

Ooh, set apart this dream
Oh, set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Close your eyes, pretty girl
'Cause it's easier when you brace yourself
Set your thoughts on a world far off
Where we only cry from joy

Ooh, set apart this dream
Oh, set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Oh lovely and beautiful, precious and priceless
You're so much more than you know
Heart of the purest gold
Pure clean and white as snow
Clothed in such splendor
Oh, what a beauty for me

Set apart this dream
Set apart this dream

Ooh, set apart this dream
(Set apart this dream)
Oh, set apart this dream for me
(Set apart this dream)
Set apart this dream for me


9.Swept Away

The evil fell from your pretty mouth
Wrapped in your classic voice
Angelic in your syntax, demonic in your motive
Your pretty eyes don't know
That the water flowing from this well isn't fresh

Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up
Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Turn all the way around
Be swept away by this

Time for surrender
Spread out your open hands
And He will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken
And watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this

Your clothes are smooth and spotless
The air is putrid sewage
Downwind of your pressed church clothes
Your eyes are black and empty
Your deeds are just for showing
How big and bright your fake smile glows
I see you moving and their getting scared
Their eyes are focusing on something else
You're staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do

See them surrender
Spread out your open hands
And he will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken
Look at the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this

I see you moving and their getting scared
Their eyes are focusing on something else
You're staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do
So get this hell out out of my way
There's nothing more that you can say so
Get this hell out, get this hell out, out out of my way

We spread our open hands
And He is rising up
Repairing all that's broken
Look at the healing come
We spread our open hands
Forgiveness holds them up
We're swept away by this


10.Tiny Heart

Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up for me
I love you so
And want to meet you again
Before one of us must go

Your lips touched every hand but mine
When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
Always waiting

Tiny heart
You're not by yourself
When will you recognize the beat
Of my own heart
Making your blood flow
So that your chest can rise and fall

Your lips touched every hand but mine
When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
Always waiting

You will never know
What you have done to me
You will never know
Losing love from me
You will never know
A single day alone

Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up
Your lips touched every hand but mine

When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
Always waiting


11.Melting (Interlude)


12.Treasure

Can I tell you a story
As we dance while the sun starts to bleed

Song of songs, love is calling
Daughter, wake up from your sleep

Refined, I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the Earth

Bearing the gift of a new heart
Patience ablaze, I'm slowly burning

Refined, I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the Earth

Refined, I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the Earth

I am in awe and in shock
I'm in love and given away
I'm reserved with these words

Can I tell you a story
As we dance while the sun starts to bleed
Trees rejoice with the wind here
Hallelujah, Yeshua

Tonight I've become the most dazzling precious treasure
I am treasured over all the Earth
Just look at what He's done
How He's laying down His life
Take this life
Oh, most dazzling precious treasure
Tonight I've become the most dazzling precious treasure
I am treasured over all the Earth


13.Circle

Circle encircles the earth
Chance and choice break his heart
His innocent arm moves to save me and I am spared
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me
But I would not believe him
He did all that he could
I still would not believe him

I left his arms empty and tied
Out stretched for me until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died

No man shows greater love
Than when a man lays down his life
For his beloved

I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died

Here I'm alive
And I don't have the right
And he gave me the right
Costing him his life
New mercy's in the morning

I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back tonight

I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life
Come back to my life

I believe
What if I believe you now
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life


14.Arise

Tell the swine
We will make it out alive
There's a note
In the pages of a book

So sleep tonight
We'll sleep dreamlessly this time
When we awake,
We'll know that everything's alright.

Sing to me,
About the end of the world,
End of these hammers and needles for you.

Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
There's some strength left in us yet

Hold on to the world we all remember dying for
There's some hope left in it yet

There's snow on your face
And your razorblade
Twilight is bruised
And there you lie

Sing to me,
About the end of the world,
End of these hammers and needles for you.
We'll cry tonight
But in the morning we are new
Stand in the sun will dry your eyes

Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
There's some strength left in us yet

Hold on to the world we all remember dying for
There's some hope left in it yet

Sing
Sing

Arise

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.

Arise and be all that you dream,
All that you dream.


15.Uncle Bobby

Knowledge came and devastated
Pressure building behind her eyes
Breathing buried under the weight
Will she, has she died also this day

Her death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
Dying to death and raising to life

The moment we became alive death was waiting, chasing
And all of us fell and kept breathing
One day, today
A sprit's alive, a body has died

And death has been swallowed up by life
This death will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry
Death has been swallowed life
This dead will rise

In the middle of
All the business
A call to be still
Multitude of words
Quiet be still

And death has been swallowed up by life
This death will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
With mournful joy she finally lets out her cry
Death has been swallowed life
This dead will rise
Oh rise, oh rise
Rise, oh rise
