Ad Mortem Festinamus
Qntal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ut degentes seculi non mulcentur in vano
Iam est hora surgere
A sompno mortis pravo
A sompno mortis pravo
Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur
Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur
Omnia mors perimit
Et nulli miseretur
Et nulli miseretur
Ad mortem festinamus
Peccare desistamus
Peccare desistamus
Ni conversus fueris et sicut puer factus
Et vitam mutaveris in meliores actus
Intrare non poteris
Regnum Dei beatus
Regnum Dei beatus
Tuba cum sonuerit dies erit extrema
Et iudex advenerit vocabit sempiterna
Electos in patria
Prescitos ad inferna
Prescitos ad inferna
Ad mortem festinamus....
The lyrics of Qntal's song Ad Mortem Festinamus are a statement about the inevitability of death and the need to live life to the fullest before it's too late. The first verse talks about the futility of worldly pursuits, urging people not to waste their time on meaningless activities. It then calls on readers to wake up from the sleep of a twisted death, urging them to make the most of their time before it's too late. The second verse talks bluntly about the nature of death, highlighting the fact that it is a force that destroys everything and shows no mercy to anyone.
The chorus calls on everyone to hurry towards death, suggesting that they stop sinning and focus on living a righteous life. It draws a distinction between those who choose to change course in life and those who continue to sin, suggesting that only the former can enter the blessed kingdom of God. The final verse talks about the end of days, with a trumpet heralding the arrival of the eternal judge who will send the chosen to paradise and the wicked to hell.
