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

We don't own our work

We don't own the Earth at all

We're eternal Nunc Stans soldiers

The eternal warriors

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?

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

We're eternal Nunc Stans soldiers

The eternal warriors

It was not death

It was not life

It was love...

"Nunc stans, Latin for "abiding now," is the belief that time itself doesn't exist, and that any distinctions between now, before and the future have either fallen away or don't exist."

This song gets me everytime--but not to cherish. But to realize that it is a moment to moment life to live, memory, love, and die. The meaning of Nunc Stans, in a very summed of form..basic to. But! Still a simplistic und beautiful way to live.

I don't believe how even after a year and a half of continuous listening this album always gets me, EVERYTIME. Everytime I find something I cherish in this album, never ceases to amaze me. This is how you know good music.

For some reason, when I heard about Amanda Todd suicide, I had to listen to this song.

Wait... I haven't heard this until now!?? First cynic song I've ever heard. Can somebody recommend me some good songs/album(s) to start with? Much love.

@skilletREDfan It's very immature and stupid music, it's based more on following (mostly fashion) trends in an attempt to be unique(?) Mostly kids listen to it, which is scary because bands like BOTDF sing about the most vulgar and moronic things possible, 'cause they're leet and all that. Frankly, this music is just so much better and so much more intelligent.

@redneckdipper1337 BOTDF isn't that bad. There's nothing wrong with "Scene" music, as you call it.
