In Death
O misery you live
I have been struck and am suffering O misery you live You take bread from hands That hold so little And show treason to a faithful heart There is no healing balm of reason O wretchedness, O misery Fall upon mercy Set thy altar here Lifeless life cradles lifeless death Set thy altar here Fall upon mercy O wretchedness, O misery O misery you live I have been struck and am suffering O misery you live O misery you live in death Exaudi orationem (meam) Quantus tremor est futurus Exaudi orationem (meam) The hour is at, parting is at hand The hour is at hand The hour is at, parting is at... 03. Midnight's Hymn
To my head I raise a wreath of white flowers
and cry unhappiness My mournful valediction I drink deep into your soul Thanatos Kyrie eleison I tread alone Bowed and stooping figure Tears standing in my eyes Icons waver in my vision I grieve as the dirge is sung To my head I raise a wreath of white flowers And cry unhappiness My mournful valediction I drink deep into your soul Thanatos, Kyrie eleison 04. ...And I Am Suffering
My God be upheld in our distress
My cries fill the air, my cries fill the air The fangs of suffering tear my bosom And refuse to release their hold When will my sorrow begin to pale? When will my sorrow begin to pale? Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine My God be upheld in our distress When will my sorrow begin to pale? My cries fill the air I have been struck and I am suffering When will my sorrow begin to pale? 05. Domine
Dies illa, dies irae
Dies illa, dies irae The hour is at... Loss and grief in chorus Chime forth their canticles Loss and grief Dies illa, dies irae The hour is at hand Sorrow ever awaits on joy, Domine Sorrow ever awaits on joy Judgement is at hand All flesh is barren All souls subject Quantus tremor est futurus Quantus tremor Judgement is at hand Requiem Domine 06. Lacrimosa (I Am Blind With Weeping)
The hour of judgement is at hand
The hour of judgement is... Lord be upheld in our distress The hour of judgement is... All fall silent, all fall Lacrimosa, dies illa Lacrimosa, dies illa All fall silent, the hour is at hand Libera eis Domine, (de poenis) Lord be upheld in our distress The hour of judgement is... 07. Rest Eternal
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
And has rendered me to (pieces) Sorrow ever awaits on joy And has rendered me to (pieces) Requiem, Kyrie, requiem. |
