Requiem
2. Kyrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ashes fell to dust
An innocent; A deathly scream
Another dead - for my bloodlust
Oh cursed life; Eternity
Tied; My flesh-bound soul
Pray a prayer to set me free
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
A million lives lay shattered
Laid to rest beneath a stone
But all that really mattered
Was that they had found a home
For the dead are always smiling
Free now from the past
Love and envy for who I'm killing
I know they're happy in peace at last
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
I beg thee judge me kindly
I beg thee set me free
Banish me from this world
I crave the true eternity
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
The lyrics of Kyrie's song Requiem convey a sense of darkness and desperation, exploring themes of death, eternity, and forgiveness. In the opening stanza, the night is personified as whispering a distant dream, perhaps hinting at the fleeting nature of life and the nebulous realm of the afterlife. The ashes falling to dust and the deathly scream suggest the reality of death, and the use of the word "bloodlust" implies a violent or predatory nature. The singer then bemoans their cursed life, trapped in an eternal existence that they wish to be free from.
The following stanza seems to offer a prayer or plea for deliverance and forgiveness from a higher power. The phrases "Delivered us from evil," "Forgive us for our sins," and "Condemned and chained by him" all suggest a religious context, with the singer acknowledging their own imperfection and mortality. The third stanza takes a more reflective tone, acknowledging the countless lives that have come before and the futility of fighting against death. However, the reference to the dead "smiling" and finding "peace at last" may suggest a certain acceptance or resignation in the face of mortality.
The final stanza is perhaps the most poignant, as the singer begs to be released from life altogether. The line "Banish me from this world" suggests a weariness and exhaustion with the struggles of existence, while "I crave the true eternity" implies a sense of longing for something beyond the physical world. Overall, Kyrie's song Requiem is a haunting exploration of death, life, and the struggle for meaning and release.

Masterpiece! Kyrie eleison. (God have mercy on us). Immortal Greek language.
@carlochang6592
It's latin
@stratiotis1979
@carlochang6592 No, my friend. This is Greek language written in Latin alphabet. Kyrie means "Lord" and Eleison means "Have mercy on Us."
