"Ars Longa Vita Brevis" lyrics

[Prelude:]

[Instrumental]

[1st Movement: Awakening]

[Instrumental]

[2nd Movement: Realisation]

Ars longa vita brevis
Life's too short to paint a kiss
So sing a picture, paint a song
Take it home and bang your gong
'Cause life is an ill cast comedy for fools

Ars longa vita brevis
A caption to a life of bliss
A rose too beautiful to see
Jumped off the bush and spoke to me
Of life that's an ill cast comedy for fools

[3rd Movement: Acceptance "Brandenburger"]

[Instrumental]

[4th Movement: Denial]

Ars longa vita brevis
Ars longa vita brevis
Ars longa vita brevis

Vita brevis
Vita brevis
Vita brevis
Vita brevis

[Coda: Extension to the Big Note]

[Instrumental]
