In Paradisum
Symfonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angels are calling,
They're singing my name
I've been caught in the meadow
And hung in the air
When the last stars are falling,
I'll sleep far away
To heaven
Warriors are flying to Paradise
Ten thousand beacons standing in line
Preaching salvation, the future comes
No more infection, the world as one!
Strive and stand - clean the land
Obey the call - redeem us all
Time, how precious is time
When life goes by
Time, how needless is time
In Paradise
Out in the night
By the moonlight, I'll miss you
Somewhere above, I'll be watching below
Turning all hate to purity
Providing peace and tranquility
Making your dreams alive
Bringing love to your heart...
Spread your wings and fly
Join me up in the sky
Angels lead us on
Through the wilderness of fate
Time, how precious is time
When life goes by
Time, how needless is time
In Paradise
Time, how needless is time...
"In Paradisum" is a Latin phrase that translates to "into paradise." The lyrics of Symfonia's "In Paradisum" evoke the image of a dying warrior being carried off by angels to the afterlife. The song opens with the line "Angels are calling, they're singing my name," signaling that the singer is about to pass on from this life. The use of the word "meadow" in the second line contributes to the pastoral imagery of being lifted away by angels.
The second stanza describes a group of warriors flying to paradise, with 10,000 beacons standing in line, preaching salvation. This seems to suggest that the singer has been to war and is now being rewarded for his or her service. The line "No more infection, the world as one!" speaks to a desire for unity and peace, either in the afterlife or in the world left behind.
The chorus emphasizes the importance and preciousness of time, especially in the face of death. The final stanza suggests that the singer will be watching over loved ones below and working to bring them peace and love, even after death.
Overall, the lyrics of "In Paradisum" are a reflection on mortality, the afterlife, and the desire for peace and unity.

Esse é um dos discos do Mestre que eu mais gosto, lembro quando ele autografou meu CD no primeiro show do Shaman Reunion, em SP, ele ficou muito surpreso quando eu entreguei.

Tava aqui pensando enquanto ouvia e lembrando dos fraços dos shows q eles fizeram aqui no Brasil...
pensei comigo, putz o trabalho mais injustiçado do André... Caraca pensa eu ir no show onde tivesse o mestre andré e o mestre Tolki juntos... putz... só deve os dois caras já pagava o ingresso...
mais ou menos nessa época eu fui no show do Angra em Barra do Garças em MT e tbm foi franquinho... uma por q aqui no MT muito pouco gente conhece de verdade e outra pois a banda não tava no hipe... E foi um dos shows q eu fiquei de cara o quanto o Edu tava cantando....
