Pie Jesu

Mother and Daughter:
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu
Domine, dona eis requiem.
Domine, dona eis requiem.
Mother:
Silent dawn after the storm,
Daughter:
lone surviving soul
Mother and Daughter:
I think of you.
Daughter:
Lost
Mother:
adrift
Daughter:
my mind
Mother:
my heart
Daughter:
Can’t
Mother:
believe
Daughter:
how far
Mother and Daughter:
we’ve grown apart.
Remember childhood, can we ever go back?
Domine, domine, donna eis requiem
Can we find common ground? I’ll keep searching on.
Mother:
You take
Daughter:
you give
Mother:
too much
Daughter:
too freely
Mother:
Can’t
Daughter:
you see
Mother and Daughter:
I’m trying to save you.
Though we may disagree, everything I do is for you.
Domine, domine, donna eis requiem
Can we find common ground? I’ll keep searching on.
Mother:
I'll keep searching for signs of Spring,
Buds and leaves emerging,
Shades of growing hope,
Gentle green reaching through the snow.
Feel the signs of Spring,
Buds and leaves emerging,
The winds of hope help my garden to grow,
Ev'rything's for you
Daughter:
A glimmer of hope shines though,
Casting its light on me,
A burning jewel in the snow,
Finally finding my power,
I must bring it home for you,
Ev’rything’s for you.

Mother's Journey
05:40
|

|
Mother:
Damp the fire and close the door
Cast off the life I lived before
Abandoning my empty nest
Adrift and dispossessed
I’m leaving home
I’m leaving home empty
North star at my back
Long road home
Frozen peaks and troughs of tracks
Tracing trails of travelled past
Picking spikes in shattered ground
Fog and flurries soften sound
Walking staff, eyes down cast
Adrift in drifts and falling fast
Silver shadows chase around
Ruined houses huddle down
Fireside constellations
Dark sky consultations
North Star guide me through
To break fresh ground anew
Earthbound
Moon rise
Hope like cold
Preserves the things I cannot hold
Cold like hope
Cools my blood when I cannot cope
Ice dreams of thaw
Rivers tracing where they ran before
Seeds dream of sun
Tender reaching for what they’ll become
I’m leaving home
I’ll leave a trail,
I can feel the North star at my back
Long road home

Offertorium

Daughter:
Keep my head above the snow
Focus on the road
I bear this source of light warmth
Endure this radiant glow
for you
Keep my feet upon the track
Burden on my back
I bear the cost of soldiers lost
To bring the power home
to you
Arriving home
I’m finding home, empty
Why couldn’t you wait for me
Long road home
I opened every door
Memories echo where we lived before
Terrified to find that you had died
Dreams of home grown fires
You burned our apple trees
My childhood is firewood, you abandoned me
Choir of Ghost Soldiers:
De profundo lacu.
Absorbeat eas tartarus.
Cadant in obscurum.
Libera animas omnium
Fidelium defunctorum
Depoenis inferni!
Hostias et preces
Mortem advitam
Libera animas omium
Fidelium defunctorum
Depoenis inferni!
Libera animas omnium
Fidelium defunctorum
Depoenis inferni!
Daughter:
Deliver me
From hopelessness
Consumed with wrath
I fought tooth and nail
Engulfed in darkness
I’ll light the way
Daughter and Choir of Ghost Soldiers:
I sacrificed it all
To win this power for my home and cause
I transformed through fire
I burn with righteous anger and desire
I command deliverance from eternal death!
