Nunc Stans Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey comrade, what will it be like
On the day that we face our mortal life?
We're all given the misfortune of loss
But that's a gift we call impermanence
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't own our work
We don't own the Earth at all
[Refrain]
We're eternal Nunc Stans soldiers
The eternal warriors
[Verse 2]
We're accountants in the firm of life
Entrusted with a body, heart and mind
Hey comrade, did I love well?
Have I learned to live moment to moment?
[Chorus]
We don't own our work
We don't own the Earth
We don't own our minds
We don't own anything at all
[Refrain]
We're eternal Nunc Stans soldiers
The eternal warriors
We're eternal Nunc Stans soldiers
The eternal warriors
[Coda]
It was not death
It was not life
It was love
