Lacrimosa (Requiem) - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (lyrics)

The Requiem Mass in D minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791, during the last year of the composer's life. 'Lacrimosa' is part of that Requiem Mass. Its melody was inspired by some of the deepest feelings in mankind's history and also delineates one of it's biggest fears: Death.

Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem. Amen.

Tearful that day,
on which will rise from ashes
guilty man for judgment.
So have mercy, Oh God, on this person.
Compassionate Lord Jesus,
grant them rest. Amen.

You should listen to the Evanescence Version of Lacrymosa it's very beautiful.

@smildonfatalis1 Actually, I've already had... It's really wonderful! I'm very fond of Amy Lee and Evanescence. Did you know that Lacymosa is the scientific name for a kind of moth (Tearful Underwing)? ;)

@DuBBeDSoBa An idiot, or maybe a neo-Nazi, or both! Not that the two are any different... :P

@littlecoley88 Put an @symbol before a name like his to truly point out an idiot. :)

@littlecoley88 thanks for your nice comment! But I'll you have to warn you, you will not be rewarded when you die for your kind words ;-)

[littlecoley88]

@masterofsynapsis I understand what you mean, and I feel the same way. Something about this song is so powerful that my life as it is could not justify a performance of this magnitude at my funeral. By the way, fms192837465fms1 is an idiot. "Believers" sure like to run their mouths -- or their fingers at the keyboard, as it were. If anyone is the asshole in need of "divine forgiveness," it's that person. Peace out, fellow atheist! :)

@masterofsynapsis Are you so stupid that you do not even realize that this miracle was written for people like you?How could you ever contemplate this music at his highest level? Fafoulleke!!

[fms192837465fms1]

@masterofsynapsis You as an atheist are indeed completely unworthy to have this music played on your funeral.On numerous forums you have established yourself as a denier of the Divine."this music is too nice"? a belittling and patronizing comment on this creation inspired by the Divine.But you know what? You will probably be forgiven for your ignorance and arrogance on your moment of death.Yes,even assholes and hypocrites are taken into account by the Divine.Lucky bastard!
