The Great Darkness Lyrics
A greater darkness, my mind's possessed
Disillusioned, numb emptiness
(No hope) I feel a paralyzing fear
(No salvation) Taking control
Their coldness hurt me beyond belief
Dominus Beo Spiritus
Will I burn?
Will I be free?
The great darkness consumed my soul
Diabolus Libero Spiritus
Blind my eyes, I hate the light
Despair, frustration, regret
Fighting - fighting for what?
Lies, your lies - I feel dead inside
My pain is all I leave behind
A shadow - The only light I followed
Transparent I am - like a ghost
Lead - Michael
A far cry from whom I wanted to be
I never found my place, my place nor peace
Lead - Christopher
Disillusioned, numb emptiness
(No hope) I feel a paralyzing fear
(No salvation) Taking control
Their coldness hurt me beyond belief
Will I be free?
The great darkness consumed my soul
Despair, frustration, regret
Fighting - fighting for what?
Lies, your lies - I feel dead inside
My pain is all I leave behind
Transparent I am - like a ghost
I never found my place, my place nor peace

Dominus Beo Spiritus can be translated as: Master To bless Breath Diabolus Libero Spiritus can be translated as: Devil To set free Breath
I'm guessing Spiritus can also mean spirit.
great song, the short little solo at 3:44 is amazing, and Diabolus...I dont think means Devil because the album from Dimmu Borgir In Sorte Diaboli litterally means One Chosen By The Devil.
Don't forget that in latin there is no word order. Dominus beo spiritus = to bless the master's spirit Diabolus Libero Spiritus = To free the devil's spirit/spirit of the devil
I don't think the song is about it, but the beginning reminds me of the devar-toi, from the book "the dark tower vol VII" by stephen king
