Requiem Lyrics

Prodigia, comploratus
Silens, oro
Regnet exitium

Days of warning
Night brings morning
My prayers worthless
Heaven is burning down

I walk stricken
Pitch black vision
Oh one, save me
Caress my weary eyes

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the earth in flames

In flames
In flames
In flames

Nature quaking
Prophets aching
I kneel faithful
Damnation cracks the sky

My heart fiction
Superstition
Your grace deathless
Give life to my last breath

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the Earth in flames

In flames
In flames
In flames

Prodigia, comploratus
Silens, oro
Regnet, exitium

Rise from ashes
Violence clashes my soul vacant
Cleanse me of all this sin

I stand guilty
I bleed filthy
Born of fire
Savor this final hour

Darkest Lord
Your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match
Engulf the Earth in flames

In flames
In flames
In flames

Requiem

Vocalist M Shadows told Kerrang! magazine: "We wanted to make an evil requiem instead of all those ones about, 'Oh Lord, save me.' This one is about the dark lord coming to save you and resurrecting Hell to do it. It's a crazy, out-of-control piece of music with orchestras, strings and all sorts of madness."

Guitarist Synyster Gates told MusicRadar.com that they wanted this song's foundation, "to be a metal band's approach to classical orchestration." He explained: "Matt's vocal is more like a lead violin part, and when my guitar chugs underneath the riff, it's almost like what low brass would do. We layered each element very carefully, and the result is one of the more cinematic tracks on the record."
