Novectacle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nos confessados do dia sacrificado
Que travemos os corações na chão
Perdoe, Jesus, nossas faltas pesados
Demais de purgar de uma viva
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Stabat Mater
Nos fingimos que não olháramos
Do olhos fechados, não ouvir nada
Mas a porta descerrado
Do caminho da cruz
Dos nos pecador
Da escada pra o juízo
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Mas almas reaviar
Eu confessada do dia sacrificado
Que escolhi viver de alma travado
Perdoe, Jesus, minha prece pesada
Demais de purgar de uma viva
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Miserere nobis,
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Ora pro nobis
O anjo do céu
Mate me, a bruxa,
Espete a faca, misericórdia
A porta descerrado
Do caminho da cruz
De eu pecador
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine
Dona me requiem
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Miserere nobis,
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Stabat Mater
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Miserere nobis,
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Stabat Mater
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Miserere nobis,
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Ora pro nobis
The lyrics to Novectacle's song Sanctus speak to the act of confession and repentance in Catholicism. The song opens with the phrase "Dominus tecum, Amen" which is Latin for "The Lord be with you, Amen," a common Catholic greeting. The verses describe the act of confessing one's sins and asking for forgiveness from Jesus. The lines "Perdoe, Jesus, nossas faltas pesados/Demais de purgar de uma viva" translate to "Forgive us, Jesus, our heavy faults/Too much to purge in one lifetime."
The recurring lines of "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus" are a reference to the Sanctus prayer in Catholic liturgy, which translates to "Holy, Holy, Holy." The line "Stabat Mater" also appears, which is a reference to the hymn Stabat Mater Dolorosa, a Catholic hymn commemorating the suffering of the Virgin Mary during Jesus' crucifixion.
Throughout the song, there are themes of denying one's own sins and the importance of facing them for the sake of redemption. The final lines, "Dona me requiem," translate to "Grant me rest," indicating a desire for peace and forgiveness.

"I heard the flaxen-haired girl's voice, who had regained her health drinking my blood.
I heard her brother's voice, who had betrayed me.
I heard the nun's voice, who played saint in my stead.
I heard the barbaric swordsman's voice, who had chopped off my arm.
And I heard the lord's voice—the root of all my suffering."

Official lyrics:
May the Lord be with you. Amen.
We bore testaments the day of sacrifice,
Took upon our souls those heavy chains.
We beg of thy forgiveness, Lord,
For sins too great to bear alone.
Holy, holy, holy,
Have mercy upon us.
Holy, holy, holy,
O mournful mother.
We hid our eyes and shut our ears,
So not to know our wicked crimes,
But still the door was opened.
Lead us down the sinner's path,
Our crosses on our backs,
Unto the stairs of judgement.
From the depths, we have cried out to you, O Lord.
But the revolution of souls has no end.
I bore testament the day of sacrifice,
Took upon my soul the heavy chains of life.
I beg of thy forgiveness, Lord,
For a wish too great to ever grand.
Holy, holy, holy,
Have mercy upon me.
Holy, holy, holy,
Pray for me.
O angel on high,
Pray kill me, witch unclean,
With thy sword so merciful.
Lead me down the sinner's path,
My cross upon my bag,
Unto the stairs of judgement.
From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.
Grant me rest.
(The destruction of my soul.)

My lifeblood was your sustenance—your prosperity.
Upon my blood did you build your lives—
a sin so great it shall never be forgiven—
and by my blood were your lives extinguished.
This—
This is the power granted unto me by God.
My blood shall become a curse—blotting out the stars.
I am the witch, Morgana.
Now let us begin a tale...
The beautiful finale to this world.

@R G Yes, is Portuguese, but who wrote che lyrics and the singer are Japanese and did't know the language, probably the autor liked the sound of Portuguese language and decided to use it anyway:
Nos confessados do dia sacrificado
Que travemos os corações na chão
Perdoe, Jesus, nossas faltas pesados
Demais de purgar de uma viva
Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus
Miserere nobis
Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus

Definitely one of the more eerie songs in the soundtrack.
Really made Morgana’s pain seem that much more terrifying

This song and the whole story in general makes you think about the sorrows and sins your soul has suffered, or committed.

This track is spine chilling and the vocals are simply on another level.
