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
