Day of Anger
Day of Terror
Will resolve the Earth in ashes
this was David's revelation and the Sybill bear witness
When departed generation Rise again to answer Judgement
Day of Anger
Day of Terror
Will resolve the Earth in ashes
Trumpets sounding loud as thunder
call the buried dead from the slumber
To the throne of God almighty
Death shall marvel Earth shall wonder
When departed generation Rise again to answer Judgement
Day of Anger
Day of Terror
this was David's revelation
Day of Anger
Day of Terror
Will resolve the Earth in ashes
this was David's revelation and the Sybill bear witness
To the throne of God almighty
Death shall marvel Earth shall wonder
Day of Anger
Day of Terror
3. Lamentation
When the cursed all are banished
Doomed to that devouring furnace
Summon me among the blessed. On my knees I fall (before them)
Grant the dead eternal rest perpetual light shine.
Day of bitter Lamentation
When man rises up from ashes
Doomed to Judgement Lost and Guilty
Grant me grace for my atonement
Ere the day I stand
I lament for I and I am (Guilty) and I blush for my wrong doing
I implore Them Saviour spare me
Grant the dead eternal rest perpetual light shine.
I lament for I and I am (Guilty) and I blush for my wrong doing
I implore Them Saviour spare me.
4. Canticles
The book before them
Where all records have been written
When Creation comes in Trial
Then the Gods will sit in Judgement
Canticles as hope
Do not forsake me
Seeking me through vast afflicted
To redeem me, by the passion.
Canticles as hope
This is my prayer to you, like the deer
that yearns for running streams
My soul is yearning. Where can I see the face of you?
Canticles as hope
Do not forsake me
Seeking me through vast afflicted
To redeem me, by the passion.
Let such a labor not be useless by the Judge.
Canticles as hope
5. Let Them Free
Make us know the shortness of our life
that we may gain wisdom and heart.
Some were sick on account of their sin.
Some were forced to rely on their guilt
...But who is God?
Your Heaven or Hell?
Some were (very) pleased on account of their sins.
Let them free
I lament for I am not and I blush for my right doing
I implore them Saviour Spare me.
The fool has said in his heart
There is (no) God above
He was sick on account of his sins.
Heavens Torment
6. Miasma
How useless to keep my heart pure and wash my hands in innocence.
When I was stricken all day long, suffered punishment.
Day after day.
Heavens are away.
Can he who made the ear. Can hear?
Can he who formed the eye. Can see?
Sin speaks to the sinner
Sin speaks to the sinner
Heaven or whatever
I cry loud for you.
But you are deaf to my tears, how will I confess?
How will I confess my offence to you?
Can he who made the ear. Can hear?
Can he who formed the eye. Can see?
Sin speaks to the sinner
Heaven or whatever
Is this a place For me?
Heaven, whatever, but first safeguard my fate
Is this for me and for them the way?
7. Whose God?
Rest and piece eternal give them
Whose God?
And light for ever shine down upon them
Free the souls that faithful departed from hell.
What advocate entreat to speak for me.
When from the dust shall rise
What was hidden is uncovered
Not forgotten not forgiven unpunished.
8. Exaudi
Exaudi and ruin them as their actions deserve
Exaudi and ruin them for the work of their hands
Exaudi and ruin them as their actions deserve
(and never rebuild them)
9. Epitaphium
Heaven wasn't
wasn't as was fold
My heart throbs
My strength is spent
The very light has gone from my eyes
Evil for Good
I count on you (God)
It's you (God) who will answer
I pray (God)
Do not forsake me
I count on you.
10. Mantis
As I think of you.
With cries that pierce me to the heart
For I own all the beasts
Of the forest beasts in theirs thousands on my hills.
With cries that pierce me
To the heart my enemies
Revile saying all the day
Where is your God?
You love evil more, than good lies more than truth you want
You love the destructive, world you tongue to deceit.
From the land of the living I will snatch you from your tent and uproot you.
For the sins of their mouths for the curses and lies that shall they speak.
Let me dwell in your tent for ever and hide in the shelter of your dreams.
For you hear my prayer grams the heritage of those.
He will search. We searches the mind and knows the depths of the heart.
The end of the earth stand in awe at the sight of your wonders
With cries that pierce me
To the heart my enemies
Revile saying all the day
Where is your God?
As I think of you.
With cries that pierce me to the heart
For I own all the beasts
Of the forest beasts in theirs thousands on my hills.
From my sins. Turn away
Your face and blow out all my guilt
Make me hear rejoin and gladness that the bones you have (crushed may thrill).
