Seraphic Requiem Lyrics

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
