Dominus Inferi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The being, he was on his own. Infinite, OH! Supreme, but alone.
Idle, he wished to have something else, he thought and imagined: ¨how can
What Shape? Which Essence? it be done?¨. He wished, yearned more.
And said: let's do it, don't, wich, waste, gifts time at all will they have.
The only one then said OH!: Conciousness and freedom.
Why?, and, Why? that brought up some disagreements,
Oh! wandering little man, Incomplete?, Soul, Imperfect?
Knowing his, Incomplete? Origin, Imperfect? Irrational,
Reason by lack, of expression.
Powerful force in its free will, he won't rest until, Flawed he'll, he, be, finds answers that give a sense to the achievement of being alive. From his birth.
Unconcious of the meaning of his own creation restless heart for
Knowing his, Ignorance? Origin, Limited? Irrational,
Reason by lack, of expression.
¨Oh sanguis meus!, Oh superinfusa! Gratia Dei!
Why? Why? Powerful force in its free will, he won't rest until,
Flawed he'll, he, be, finds answers that
Give a sense to the achievement of being alive. From his birth
Unconcious of the meaning of his own creation restless heart for
Knowing his origin, irrational, reason by lack, of expression, Why incomplete?
Why imperfect? Why Ignorance? Why limited? Why imperfect? Why Ignorance? Why limited?
Why incomplete?Why imperfect? Why the Ignorance? Why limited?
From his birth, flawed he'll be, why the idea?
