Requiem
Two Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ashes fell to dust
An innocent; A deathly scream
Another dead - for my bloodlust
Oh cursed life; Eternity
Tied; My flesh-bound soul
Pray a prayer to set me free
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
A million lives lay shattered
Laid to rest beneath a stone
But all that really mattered
Was that they had found a home
For the dead are always smiling
Free now from the past
Love and envy for who I'm killing
I know they're happy in peace at last
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
I beg thee judge me kindly
I beg thee set me free
Banish me from this world
I crave the true eternity
Delivered us from evil
Forgive us for our sins
For we are gods creation
Condemned and chained by him
The lyrics in Two Witches’ song “Requiem” tell the story of a person who is tired of living forever and killing others to sustain themselves - a common theme in vampire literature. The singer asks for forgiveness for their sins and to be set free from the curse of eternal life. They feel trapped by their flesh-bound soul and the fact that they are both God’s creation and his condemned prisoner. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer understanding that the dead find peace in death, and they beg to be released from their bondage into true eternity.
The lyrics in this song can be interpreted in many ways, but one common theme is the desire to escape the cycle of violence and death. This is a theme that resonates with many people, whether they are dealing with addiction, mental health issues, trauma, or other challenges that seem insurmountable. The song presents the idea of forgiveness as a way to break this cycle - the singer asks for forgiveness for their sins and begs to be released from their curse.
Line by Line Meaning
The night whispered a distant dream
The night called out to a faraway dream
The ashes fell to dust
The remnants of destruction turned to nothingness
An innocent; A deathly scream
A pure being cries out in agony
Another dead - for my bloodlust
Another life taken to satisfy my thirst for blood
Oh cursed life; Eternity
Life feels like a curse; it seems to go on forever
Tied; My flesh-bound soul
My spirit is bound to my physical body
Pray a prayer to set me free
I plead for deliverance from this fate
I'm weary of this wretched role
I'm tired of playing this miserable part
Delivered us from evil
Save us from harm and darkness
Forgive us for our sins
Grant us mercy for our wrongdoings
For we are gods creation
We were made by a divine being
Condemned and chained by him
But we are punished and trapped by the same god
A million lives lay shattered
The ruins of a million lives lie in pieces
Laid to rest beneath a stone
Their remains laid to rest in a cold grave
But all that really mattered
All that meant anything was that they found peace
Was that they had found a home
In death, they found refuge at last
For the dead are always smiling
Those who have passed on have no pain, so they seem at peace
Free now from the past
They are no longer bound by their previous life
Love and envy for who I'm killing
I both love and long for those I am forced to kill
I know they're happy in peace at last
I'm certain they have found happiness in death
I beg thee judge me kindly
I plead for mercy in judgement
I beg thee set me free
Please release me from my suffering
Banish me from this world
Remove me completely from existence
I crave the true eternity
I desire to experience genuine eternity and be free from this half-life

para todos los que piensan que Anne Nurmi sale en este video están totalmente equivocados..no es ella,las dos nenas que ven son Iris y Nauku..y muchos confunden a Nauku con Anne xD..jajaj..si ya para este album que se lanzó el 94-95 Anne ya no estaba,ella ya había dejado la banda el 93..así que todos los que creen que es Anne la que sale cantando y tocando su teclado se equivocaron gravemente..para su información es nada menos que Nauku..jojoo!
