Latin Lyrics

 * Deus dormit
 * Et liberi ignem faciunt
 * Numquam extinguunt
 * Ne expergisci possit


 * Omnia dividit
 * Tragedia coram
 * Amandum quae


 * Et nocte perpetua
 * In desperatione
 * Auroram videre potest
 * Mane tempus expergiscendi.

English Translation

 * God sleeps
 * And children light a flame
 * That never extinguished
 * But he will never awake


 * Separate everything,
 * This tragedy destroys,
 * every beloved ones.


 * And in this endless night,
 * In despair
 * He may see the dawn
 * That will awake him in the next morning
