I saw the ferryman's light
In the deep of the night
On his boat departed souls of those who died

They were fearful and brave
They were masters and slaves
They all took nothing but a coffin to the grave

So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori until death will draw his knife
So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori and when yesterday is gone
Tomorrow never comes

I felt the cold on my skin
I saw death pale and grim
But I have learned that living free is not a sin

I have loved and betrayed
I have lost, I have paid
But when my time has come then I will not be afraid

So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori until death will draw his knife
So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori and when yesterday is gone
Tomorrow never comes

We are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori until death will draw his knife
So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori and when yesterday is gone
Tomorrow never comes

Memento mori

So we are seizing the day
We are seizing the night
Memento mori and when yesterday is gone
Tomorrow never comes
