Adagio - Introitus/Solvet Saeclum in Favilla

Band: Adagio
Album: Underworld
Ze lyrics:

[Verse I]
Ashes surrounding me
Nothing else, but darkness, blood and pain
My determination will prevent you to outlast

[Verse II]
After so many years of disgrace
I feel my hatred becoming mightier
Corrupt your soul, I will
Never ending my pervert plague to flow

[Bridge]
Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

[Chorus]
Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

[Verse I]
Reign over the world I will
The mandrakes of death I will seed
I'll kill and probably I bleed,
Spreading impureness on your fields

[Bridge]
Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

[Chorus]
Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

The "fun name" translates roughly to "The world is consumed by ashes.." I HATE the translations that put it in a rhyming scheme, because it skews the meaning of the lines. By the way, to pronounce it it's like Spanish, the double L makes a Y sound.

And I'm going to get a tattoo of these words somewhere, because it's awesome, and it's my favorite song on my favorite album by my favorite band!

amazing : adagio is one of my favorite progressive metal bands with Symphony x.

@ContraereaSerba its majestic, the choirs, except some electric guitar that is a bit too up in my opinion, but the templer anthem on here also is even then completely within tone to me more.

[ContraereaSerba]

One of the best chorus ever, in my opinion.

[silverfuck1981]

Y en cenizas brillantes el mundo se disolverá...

[PudoozaTheConquer]

Adagio's official youtube presence uploaded a version of this song with just drums and bass (and maybe guitar?). I found it quite fascinating. You might enjoy it.
