I will fully admit that this account has laid dormant for some time now — partially because I'm still working on Album 3, which is about 80% complete (although that is more to do with leaving the biger/more difficult parts until last). And while this song won't be on the album, this was also an opportunity to get the album's guitar tone more refined; compare it to my cover of Toxic, which does have a.. "not quite there" sound to it. Here though... I think I've cracked it; it now has that "aggression" of the tone that was in Messenger 3, while having the "meat" of the current tone that I've been developing.

There's no Demo or SKETCH version.

Lyrics:

[VERSE 1]
Recall the memories
As I witnessed your death
And I see the irony
As you earned my respect
Now the sun is bearing down
But cold I am inside
Your execution's wearing me down
I'll have to just swallow my pride

[CHORUS]
The thought can leave you sober
So don't cry when it's gone
Soon this will all be over
So here lies my memento; know this was not for naught

[VERSE 2]
And as the clock, she ticks,
While driving through the night
The fear is setting in:
"I'm running out of time!"
And as the season changes
I'm haunted by your ghost
Will I remain the same when
You were what mattered to me most

{rpt CHORUS}

[instrumental]

{rpt CHORUS}

[CHORUS var.B]
The thought can leave you sober
So don't cry when it's gone
neque timeo mortem
And cherish this memento; No, this was not for naught
