Choir of Horrors

Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens patri Reconciliavit peccatores A lamp the sheep redeemeth: Christ, who only is sinless Reconcileth sinners to the father It's written in the truth I was crowned - I went down Another man is raised - far too high up A new emperor Let him fear ruin! For in the scars it is written Until he's shaken by the resonance of the seven trombones Bel Marduk - glory to him by Chaldaeus Later I saw an angel descending from the sky One with great sway and the earth lit up With his elevation and enlightment The sinner was despised Volupatis avidus - magis quam salutis Mortus in anima - et ustus fortiter I heard another voice amidst the lightning in heaven Abscond Babylon and you won't share in the sin And you won't partake in the pain And as they glorified themselves and roused excess To the same dreadful degree, they were overcome By torment and despair Up to heaven! Os eius vias malus sederam elatus Obdurat imperat ira vehementi sors turpissima And I heard another cry from all of the trombones of retalia- tion Abscond babylon and you won't partake in pain Babylon - pray for the choir of horrors Babylon - choir of horrors Then I heard it from the heart of the city I reign as a queen and I'm not a widow Never will I feel regret, never Babylon - pray for the choir of horrors Babylon - choir of horrors And so the pain will come Plague, sorrow and hunger In just one hour, you - might Babylon Will perish in fire
