North Sea Radio Orchestra – Mimnermus In Church Lyrics

Artist: North Sea Radio Orchestra
Song: Mimnermus In Church

You promise heavens free from strife
Pure truth, and perfect change of will;
But sweet, sweet is this human life
So sweet, I fain would breathe it still;

Your chilly stars I can forgo
This warm kind world is all I know
You say there is no substance here
Back from that void I shrink in fear

Show me what angels feel. Till then
I cling, a mere weak man, to men
You bid me lift my mean desires
From faltering lips and fitful veins

To sexless souls, ideal quires
My mind with fonder welcome owns
One dear dead friend’s remember’d tones
Forsooth the present we must give

To that which cannot pass away;
All beauteous things for which we live
By laws of time and space decay
But O, the very reason why

I clasp them, is because they die
