A Thousand Deaths
In excelsius benedictusBlessed angels hear our prayerImmortales resurrectusLet thy whisper dry our tearsIn excelsius benedictusBlessed angels hear our prayerImmortales resurrectusLet thy promise calm our fearsHosanna, hosanna, aeternaHoly we'll arrive forevermore
(Arabic chant)
Two lovers, two forces of love and hateI pull you, you pull me, we complicateUnlikely defendants in a lovers' trialAnd facing a world in complete denialFrom London to Aden, the stage is setTwo cultures in conflict, love under threat
And I'd breathe in fire and ashAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd die a thousand deathsAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd breathe in fire and ashAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd die a thousand deathsAll for the sake of love
(Arabic chant)
The fires of the righteous will always burnAnd turn us on each other until we learnTo harness the power of our distinctionAnd throw off these shackles of bad religionOne thousand and one nights change everythingYou are my scheherazade, I am your king
In excelsius benedictusImmortalis lacunamIn extremis abyss domusIntroitus gloriam
And I'd breathe in fire and ashAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd die a thousand deathsAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd breathe in fire and ashAll for the sake of loveAnd I'd die a thousand deathsAll for the sake of love
In excelsius benedictusImmortalis lacunamIn extremis abyss domusIntroitus gloriam
The last hope for justice is fleeting fastSalvation, extinction, we're free at last
In excelsisImmortalisIn extremis
And I'd die a thousand deathsAll for the sake of loveAll for the sake of love
In excelsius benedictusBlessed angels hear our prayer
