Succurre miseris
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath
Sentiant omnes tuum juvamen,
Juva pusillanimes
Juva pusillanimes
Sentiant omnes tuum juvamen,
Juva pusillanimes
Close your eyes,
Interveni pro clero
Take a deep breath
Sentiant omnes tuum juvamen,
Juva pusillanimes
Sentiant omnes tuum juvamen,
Juva pusillanimes
Take a deep breath
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath
Sentiant omnes tuum iuvamen
Close your eyes,
Iuva pusillanimes
Take a deep breath...
The lyrics of "Gregorian Illuminati" are referencing the Gregorian chants of the Catholic church. "Sancta Maria, Succurre miseris" is a Latin phrase meaning "Holy Mary, help those who are miserable." The song encourages the listener to close their eyes, take a deep breath, and feel the assistance of the divine. The repetition of "Sentiant omnes tuum juvamen, Juva pusillanimes" refers to the idea that all who are in need may feel the help of the divine and encourages those who feel small or powerless to find strength in their faith.
The phrase "Interveni pro clero" means "Intervene for the clergy," suggesting that the song is also speaking to those within the Catholic church. The repeated emphasis on taking deep breaths and closing one's eyes creates a meditative effect, encouraging the listener to focus on the spiritual and transcendental.
