Memento Mori - Patti Smith[00:00:02]

The fans were whirling[00:00:26]

Like the blades of a copter[00:00:30]

Lifting into the skies above some foreign land[00:00:40]

Soaked with the bodies of so many friends [00:00:48]

Johnny waved[00:00:53]

He was on his way home[00:01:01]

He waved goodbye to his comrades in arms [00:01:04]

And all the twisted things he has seen [00:01:09]

He waved goodbye[00:01:12]

And the blades hit[00:01:19]

Something[00:01:31]

Maybe just Fate but the blades hit[00:01:35]

The copter went up in flames[00:01:40]

And Johnny never went marching home[00:01:45]

Johnny never went marching home[00:01:51]

They took his name[00:01:59]

And they carved it on a slab of marble[00:02:03]

With several thousand other names[00:02:08]

All the fallen idols[00:02:15]

The apples of their mother's eye[00:02:18]

Just another name[00:02:23]

Meanwhile[00:02:46]

Back on that burning shore[00:02:50]

Johnny's comrades stood speechless[00:02:56]

They looked with uh-uh-uh-uh disbelieving eyes[00:03:05]

As those bits of metal and the embers[00:03:13]

The embers of his eyes[00:03:22]

Fanned out into the air[00:03:25]

Black dust[00:03:28]

Flames[00:03:30]

Oh Johnny some day they'll make a movie about you[00:03:32]

And in the making of that movie[00:03:38]

Some mad apocalypse[00:03:40]

It will become even stranger than the simple act[00:03:43]

Just a boy going up up up[00:03:51]

Just a boy going up[00:03:57]

In flames in the smoke[00:04:00]

Just another life[00:04:03]

Just another breath[00:04:05]

And who'll remember[00:04:07]

Oh eternity now[00:04:11]

As eternal as a sheet of marble[00:04:14]

Eternal as a slab on a green hill[00:04:18]

And your name[00:04:24]

And all your fallen brothers[00:04:26]

And all the ones not cut[00:04:30]

All the ones remembered only in the hearts[00:04:33]

A mother a father a brother a sister a lover a son a daughter[00:04:39]

Shall not shall not fade shall not fade[00:04:52]

Your ancestors salute you[00:05:16]

And the gods of your ancestors salute you[00:05:24]

Having having been formed by the minds of your ancestors[00:05:29]

The gods of your ancestors salute you[00:05:36]

Having been formed by your ancestors[00:05:40]

The gods of your ancestors salute you[00:05:46]

They draw you in they draw you through[00:05:49]

They draw they draw you through that golden door[00:05:55]

Moring boy[00:06:03]

We remember you[00:06:06]

We conceived of you[00:06:16]

We conceived of your breath[00:06:17]

We conceived of the whole human race[00:06:20]

And we conceived it to be a beautiful thing[00:06:24]

Like a tulip bending in the wind[00:06:28]

Sometimes it comes back to us[00:06:32]

In the form of a handful of dust[00:06:35]

Comes back in the form of a smitten child[00:06:38]

Our raped daughters ah the broken bones[00:06:45]

Souls cleaved from hearts[00:06:54]

They come back to us[00:06:57]

And our hands are filled with their rotting tissues[00:07:00]

But we turn not our backs[00:07:03]

We press our lips[00:07:13]

Into their cancer into the dust into the remains of each one[00:07:16]

And that love is there and will greet you will greet you[00:07:20]

Morning boy[00:07:33]

It's eternal love[00:07:37]

Well here go ahead run through that flame[00:08:20]

For a man you must to your mind[00:08:28]

You took a cat you took a life you took it by the tail[00:08:31]

And you swirled it around your head[00:08:37]

And you thrashed it you smashed the life out of it[00:08:41]

And you knew that it would be your own[00:08:46]

But you wanted to feel you wanted to feel it die[00:08:49]

Because you know you would feel your own[00:08:54]

You would feel your own[00:08:58]

But you're remembered [00:09:00]

You're remembered [00:09:04]

You're remembered DEAD [00:09:06]

You're remembered DEAD [00:09:09]

You're remembered DEAD [00:09:12]

We remember[00:09:28]

We remember[00:09:30]

We remember[00:09:33]

Everything[00:09:36]

Everything[00:09:38]
