Tempus Fugit is a Latin saying that means "Time flies." The full quote is "Tempus Fugit, memento mori," which means "Time flies, remember death." This album is a journey through Death, Judgment, Hell and Heaven, based partly on the near-death experience of Myztery member Star, a three day experience of hell by Diamond as well as the Scriptures, including the Book of Revelation.
We suggest you check out this powerful site called The Four Last Things to get a better understanding of what Tempus Fugit is all about. Then writings of this book were very much part of the inspiration for this album.
+ Dedicated to the memory of Diamond's father Les, Uncle Robert, Lumeni's step-mother Nora, and Rev. Joe Ponti, the former spiritual advisor of Myztery, all of whom passed away during the recording of this album. May they rest in peace.
