Dies irae, dies irae
Dies illa, dies illa

Solvet, solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla

Solvet, solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

The day of wrath, the day of wrath
That day be, that day be

Dissolved, dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls

The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls

The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes

Dissolved, dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls

The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls
