Lacrymosa Lyrics

I absolutely love this song. The classical stuff is from a Mozart piece called "Lacrimosa", which was actually originally written in D minor, so Amy Lee helped the orchestra that did it for the song transpose it a whole step up to E minor to match the key of the song. A lacrymosa is also a type of moth: Catacola lacrymosa, which roughly translates in Latin as "The Tearful (or Weeping) Underwing", which is the moth's more common name. Just a little fact.

@weathergirl123 Lacrimosa is also Latin for "weeping" (and the moths name was derived from the word too)
