FATES WARNING - KYRIE ELEISON

Classic Fates Warning from The Spectre Within album 1985 with John Arch on vocals.
LYRICS:
Never thought my time was coming
Wasn't in my dreams
Twice I visioned I was falling down,
Down to the ground, I screamed out loud,
Woke on a cloud.
Never really a holy man even though
I understand the father son and Holy Ghost
He's the on that scares me most
Ashes to rain you feel no pain.

Hell fire burns my conscience. My mind explodes
Spine is severed, blood runs cold, confess the
Deepest of sin, invision a king
With a white violin.
Crucifix hung above my death bed begins
To bleed.
Imagination, lunacy, has he come to hear my plea,
Grant absolution condone my sin.

The lady in black I ask what do you see.
A glimpse in your glass what good
Fortune for me.
The lady in black said your lifeline is damned.
The tarot of death card she held in her hand.

Kyrie Eleison. Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison. Christe Eleison

Segments of my life flash through my mind
Things never seen.
It must be fate warning me for now
The walls are closing in. Rosary in Hand,
Lost grain of sand.
Here I go I start to fall again.

Try to scream I'm mute it is the
End of my last fall.
To the land of nevermore
Shatter her glass I woke on the floor

It's no wonder. I think Latin was very much influenced by the Greek language. In general, the Romans occupied the divided city-states of Greece with superior armed forces, but thei Roman culture was eventually dominated by the "superior" Greek one.

p.s. I'm Greek. :)

[blitzforthewin]

@protsimer Oh, that's weird. I just assumed it was latin because that's the language that ought to have been used by the Roman priests, who would have written the mass.

Actually, just looked this up, apparently the entire mass was still given in Latin, but Greek was an older, traditional style of giving the mass, and just the kyrie eleison part was preserved for Latin services. Food for thought, I guess.

[protsimer]

@blitzforthewin It's not latin. It's Greek. The chorus you also mention and translate accurately is also Greek,.

[redofdeathGR]

evlogison...

[blitzforthewin]

@morgolorth It's actually latin. The name, and the chorus itself, comes from the dies irae, which is spoken at funerals. The chorus, "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison" is translated to lord have mercy, christ have mercy. Somehow, knowing this origin makes the sound that much more awesome.

Also, maybe I should put in my will that I want the priest doing my funeral service to say the dies irae in this style instead
