Virgin Black Requiem - Pianissimo 1. Requiem Aeternum The hour of parting is at hand Amorous eyes, crippling word I bring Grief vents itself more violently My God be upheld in our distress My cries fill the air The fangs of suffering tear my bosom And refuse to release their hold The hour of parting is at hand Requiem aeternum dona eis Domine Requiem Requiem aeternum dona eis Domine Exaudi orationem meam Requiem Amorous eyes, crippling word I bring Grief vents itself more violently The hour of parting is... I tread alone, I am struck and am suffering I tread alone, tread alone, I am suffering Kyrie eleison, Et lux perpetua luceat eis Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison Requiem aeternum dona eis Domine 2. Dies Irae My God be upheld in our distress Save us according to your mercy O death, so gallantly arrayed Dare you prey upon my heart And devote us to decay Dies illa, dies irae 3. Until Death Misery calls, the dark night of the soul Abandonment carries me home The prayer of the forsaken A prayer to Thee Agnus dei qui tollis peccata mundi dona eis Requiem I'm made blind with weeping, and will mourn until death 4. Kyrie Eleison Ad caput coronam florum alborum attolo Et queror infelicitatem Valedictionem meam tristem Haurio penitus in animam tuam You take bread from hands that hold so little And show treason to a faithful heart I'm made blind with weeping And will mourn until death Misery calls I'm made blind with weeping Misery calls Thanatos Kyrie eleison Ad caput coronam florum alborum attolo Et queror infelicitatem 5. Libera Eis Domine Libera Eis Domine There is no healing balm of reason Beside the grave of my beloved Libera Eis Domine Death with so pitiless a laugh You reveal yourself with famished indulgence Death with so... Libera Eis Domine There is no healing balm of reason When will my sorrow begin to pale? Gather me, for I am scattered Speak comfort to me Share my sorrow Gather me, share my sorrow 6. Lacrimosa (I Tread Alone) Where is my God, in the dull ear of night? With tuneless voice, a requiem sung On a flower strewn to Earth, where is my God? I tread alone I've been struck and I am suffering Where is my God, in the dull ear of night? With tuneless voice, a requiem sung On a flower strewn to Earth, where is my God? Hold me, hold me I am in desperation Hold me, hold me I tread alone My groans scarce express I tread alone Call into my darkness Speak my name Hold me Draw me close, lay me soft Gather me Lacrimosa Draw me close, lay me soft Gather me I tread alone, I tread alone Hold me, hold me I tread alone 7. Pie Jesu Pie Jesu qui tollis peccata mindu dona eis requiem Summer has died, but I live to weep tears Flowers have fallen, their fragrance shed Sorrow sways to the pangs of my heart I listen for hope, she refuses to sing Lifeless life cradles lifeless death Pie Jesu qui tollis peccata mundi dona eis requiem My blood has fallen to winter's still My blood had fallen Found in silence, and greying light My blood has fallen Requiem aeternum dona eis Domine Exaudi orationem meam Requiem I am in the dust, but there I find You And I will mourn until death 8. Remembrance Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine quia pious es Gather me, for I am scattered Speak comfort to me, share my sorrow Gather me, share my sorrow Gather me, share my sorrow
