Requiem Lyrics

Prodigia comploratus
silens oro
regnet exetium

Days of warning
Night brings morning
My prayers worthless
Heaven is burning down

I walk stricken
Pitch black vision
Oh One, save me
Caress my weary eyes

Darkest Lord, your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames

In flames, In flames, In flames

Nature quaking
Prophets aching
I kneel faithful
Damnation cracks the sky

My heart fiction
Superstition
Your grace deathless
Give life to my last breath

Darkest Lord, your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames

In flames, In flames, In flames

(Grant them eternal rest, oh Lord and grace them into your army of undead
Strike with vengeance those who oppose your will
And lay to waste to all those who should choose to stand before you
Walk with them and shield them from the blinding light of servitude
and devastate your enemies as they die, My Lord, amen)

prodigia comploratus
silens oro
regnet exetium

Rise from ashes
Violence clashes
My soul vacant
Cleanse me of all this sin

I stand guilty
I bleed filthy
Born of fire
Savor this final hour

Darkest Lord, your mercy shall I gain
Strike the match, engulf the earth in flames

Cover art for Requiem lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

It is a prayer for the destruction of everything. Planets could be seen as the follow-up song with its imagery of cosmic death, a cold uncaring universe. Acid rain, as the band has said in interviews, is the human perspective on planets. People holding their lovers as the world ends before their eyes, children obliviously carrying on unaware of their immanent death.
