My original sin
Dominus Inferi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You asked me to be true allowing me to know the truth, all the truth.
My soul created, by your own hand, carries on a struggle with my heart
You want me to be, blindly faithful, but gave me a world full of temptation
Full of questions which answers I'd like to know
Thirty, I listened to your words you set that need within myself
You asked me for strengh, I don't know, I'm so weak, so small so fragile,
Here he comes, he i sthe one, who will open your eyes
Here he comes, here he comes, don't you let him talk
Full of questions which answers I'd like to know
Do not punish me Lord!!!!, do not keep me away from the light
I just want what's forbidden but I cannot understand
Do not condemm me Lord!!!!, please keep me away from the sorrow
If this was your markon me how can you understand me?
Culpa, culpa, culpa! Nostrum primus noxa!
Metus, metus, metus! Nostrum primus poena!
The lyrics of the song "My Original Sin" by Dominus Inferi tell a story of a person who was allowed to live in paradise by the Lord. In this paradise, the person was protected from the negative things in the world such as sorrow, hunger, and pain. They were also allowed to know the truth about the world, but they had to be true to gain access to it. However, the person's soul had a constant struggle with their heart. The Lord wanted them to be blindly faithful but provided them with a world full of temptations and questions that they yearned to know the answers to.
As the person turned thirty years old, they began to feel the need to listen to the words of the Lord. The Lord asked them for strength, but they felt weak, small, and fragile. They felt like their soul was breaking into two parts, with one part representing themselves, and the other part representing the Lord. The person is warned that there would be someone who would come to open their eyes and answer their questions, but they should not let this person talk.
The person cries out to the Lord to not punish them and to keep them away from the darkness, and yet, they are tempted by what is forbidden. They beg the Lord not to condemn them and to keep them from sorrow, questioning how the Lord could truly understand them when they were marked from the beginning with their original sin.
