lyrics

Words & Music: Marita Dyson, Stuart Flanagan

Momento Mori
My silken dresses are made of coffins:
You never had a future,
Plunged into boiling water,

Mulberry, momento mori

The message is within you,
White and crimson berries are bleeding on my fingers.

Growing your white wings,
Though you will never fly,
Sleep soundly under branches,
For it is not your intention
To soon die.

A felted capsule,
A strength unrivalled,
A sheen with magic lustre;
A hope you cast in circles.

I used to value all those worldly dresses,
But now the only feeling,
Is the texture of a deathbed.
