Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam,
Dona eis Domine, requiem aeternam,
Et lux perpetua, luceat eis,
Requiem aeternam, dona eis Domine
Is this Heaven I can see?
Are these feelings of ecstasy?
Or is it agony? I can’t tell.
Could I be on the road to Hell?
All I wanted was to be with you.
Now I wonder if that lie is true.
Where then are you, why aren’t you here?
I feel forsaken and full of fear.
One moment I’m pulsating deep with love,
And the next, I panic as I fly above.
There’s a moment between pleasure and pain,
When being in Heaven or Hell feels just the same.
I long to have you forever until,
We sleep in eternity with no more needs to fill.
I’m going dark now, with cold mist all around.
I’m losing touch with sight and sound.
Keep me with you in your heart.
Never forsake me while we are apart.
My memory’s fading slowly into the light,
And now all is dark, and I have no sight.
Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam,
Dona eis Domine, requiem aeternam,
Et lux perpetua, luceat eis,
Requiem aeternam, dona eis Domine
Is this Heaven I can’t see?
Where are those feelings of ecstasy?
Oh this is agony, I can tell.
Now I know, I’m on my way to Hell.
