Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder - Matthäuspassion

Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750,
BWV 244 Matthäuspassion

mov. 68 Coro

Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder
Und rufen dir im Grabe zu
Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh,
Ruhe sanfte, sanfte ruh!(x2)

Rüht, ihr ausgesognen Glieder
Ruhet sanfte, ruhet wohl! (x2)

Euer Grab und Leichenstein
Soll dem ängstlichen Gewissen
Ein bequemes Ruhekissen
Und der Seelen Ruh
Ruhet sanfte, sanfte ruht!
Slatt, der Seelen Ruhstatt sein
Höchst vergnügt, höchst vergnügt
Schlummern da die Augen ein

LOL thats cool. but ist actually about Jesus. It depicts him at the cross and the sadness that his followers and family members felt when watching him up there. "We sit down in tears, Lord".

[BasmentGuy3000]

this is very epic...picture this sicily 1800 whatever on a mountain side 2 kknights decked out in armor fighting to the death a back & forth battle while their armys of 50,000 each go to war on the grassie plans below....arrows flying thrw the air waiting to take the life of any no name soldier in the epic battle....blood flying everywhere the sound of steel hitting against steel fill the air...This battle seemed like it was going to claim ever life in it until blah blah blah blah :)
