Introitus
Adagio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
