Consuming the light, we shine

In a halo of over-existence

Self-crucified

Stamped from the omega seal

Our radiant majesty rises

And irrigates our magnificence

We'll burn down your guilty

And weak souls into ashes

Opposites collapse

On their foundations

Proud citadels fall and crumble

Under the edge of the holy presence

(Dies irae, dies illa)

Wings swell the spiritual winds

Of salvation among all men

(Solvet saeclum in favila)

Dissolving the souls

Vaporizing bones and blood

Myriad of myriads we are

Hailing the glorious flesh

In the wrath of war chants

Fire, smoke, blood and sulphur:

Hear the choir of a seraphic requiem

Rise upon the philistene's herd

A cross appears in a sky ablaze

Death is struck, nature quaking

Freezing words of a tongue of silence

Now howled, poems of a new fall

With a mouth of burning scorn

We exhale a holy storm

A mourning star's ascending

To reach its final zenith

And destroy

The substance of life itself

The final score begins:

Hear your screams rise in hatred

Coryphaeus singing the drama

As the army goes on the march

O what fear man's bosom rendeth

When from heaven

The judge descendeth

The blade is crafted

To tear apart universe's core

We, the verb, now summon terror

Day of wrath and doom impending

Heaven and earth in ashes ending

(Dies irae, dies illa)

Hear the choir

Of a seraphic requiem

Rise upon the human herd
