Me as a little kid: -heard Karl Jenkins before, didn't leave an impact-
Me now: -heard Karl Jenkins Adiemus again- Wow! It's been a long time! They're really good! -looks up this song- Wow are they like singing Russian? -looks up lyrics- THEY'RE SINGING ENGLISH! -end of song looks down at arms- Wow it was so good I got goosebumps!

@mattyhodg1 I've a new appreciation for Rudyard Kipling!

The lyrics of this particular movement are unbelievable. They are so powerful.

I find this piece a song of 'triumph'...
We have already 'won' the battle BEFORE the war...
'War' is only 'allowed' to show us "what's in mens'/ human's' minds", not our hearts.
Their/our hearts are 'forever' in God...they/we've just 'forgotten' it.

The earth is full of anger, The seas are dark with wrath, The Nations in their harness Go up against our path: Ere yet we loose the legions -- Ere yet we draw the blade, Jehovah of the Thunders, Lord God of Battles, aid! High lust and froward bearing, Proud heart, rebellious brow -- Deaf ear and soul uncaring, We seek Thy mercy now! The sinner that forswore Thee, The fool that passed Thee by, Our times are known before Thee -- Lord, grant us strength to die! I LOVE THIS SONG!

"Lord grant us strength to die."
SO EPIC

brilliant!
we sing this part on the school performance with 400 men or so, it's gonna be fantastic!
-
Really? We never combine band, chorus, and orchestra. It really stinks, because it would sound SO good.

Then again, that's exactly what it is, isn't it?
You realy have to appreciate the powerful choir that echoes like a single empire chanting in unity. It's so amazing.
