Messiah - Choir Of Horrors Lyrics
Agnus redemit oves:Christus innocens patriReconciliavit peccatoresA lamp the sheep redeemeth:Christ, who only is sinlessReconcileth sinners to the fatherIt's written in the truthI was crowned - I went downAnother man is raised - far too high upA new emperorLet him fear ruin! For in the scars it is writtenUntil he's shaken by the resonance of the seven trombonesBel Marduk - glory to him by ChaldaeusLater I saw an angel descending from the skyOne with great sway and the earth lit upWith his elevation and enlightmentThe sinner was despisedVolupatis avidus - magis quam salutisMortus in anima - et ustus fortiterI heard another voice amidst the lightning in heavenAbscond Babylon and you won't share in the sinAnd you won't partake in the painAnd as they glorified themselves and roused excessTo the same dreadful degree, they were overcomeBy torment and despairUp to heaven!Os eius vias malus sederam elatusObdurat imperat ira vehementi sors turpissimaAnd I heard another cry from all of the trombones of retalia-tionAbscond babylon and you won't partake in painBabylon - pray for the choir of horrorsBabylon - choir of horrorsThen I heard it from the heart of the cityI reign as a queen and I'm not a widowNever will I feel regret, neverBabylon - pray for the choir of horrorsBabylon - choir of horrorsAnd so the pain will comePlague, sorrow and hungerIn just one hour, you - might BabylonWill perish in fire
