Virgin Black - Requiem, Kyrie / In Death

album: "Requiem - Mezzo forte" 2007



"Requiem, Kyrie"

The hour of parting is at hand
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
And has rendered me to pieces
Drink me deep
O death devour
Cover me with darkness
And paint me like death
I drown in remembrance
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
And has rendered me to pieces
Requiem, Kyrie, requiem
I drown in remembrance
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
And has rendered me to pieces
Requiem, Kyrie, requiem.




"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...
