Opus Requiem Songtext / Lyric

And so he was turned away
To hide faces, guilt among the trees
Life froze in his veins
His limbs root to the ground
The failed soul runs a river of sorrow Living yet breathless, he fades to a dark shade
At last the voice remained, vanished into gray
Far from fair kingdoms the voice has life. . . The infernal river is unsettled by his crossing
Away from three-headed guardians
He runs towards the shade of life
His song ascends to the mount of heaven

Solo: James Murphy

As he runs from Hades
Turned around losing her to darkness

Alone with the standing trees
The deepest wild
They say he was swallowed by a river full of rage
His blood is the vengeful River
His bones are the stones

His soul calls to her eternally

Solo: Istvan

Reaching only darkness

The voice remains captured by his sorrow and pain
Then slowly fades like a dying flame

Solo: Istvan
Solo: Dave Suzuki
