In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer Immortales resurrectus Let thy whisper dry our tears In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer Immortales resurrectus Let thy promise calm our fears Hosanna, hosanna, aeterna Holy we'll arrive for evermore
Two lovers, two forces of love and hate I pull you, you pull me, we complicate Unlikely defendants in a lovers' trial And facing a world in complete denial From London to Aden, the stage is set Two cultures in conflict, love under threat
And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love
The fires of the righteous will always burn And turn us on each other until we learn To harness the power of our distinction And throw off these shackles of bad religion One thousand and one nights can change everything You are my scheherazade, I am your king
In excelsius benedictus Immortalis lacunam In extremis abyss domus Introitus gloriam
And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love
In excelsius benedictus Immortalis lacunam In extremis abyss domus Introitus gloriam
The last hope for comfort* is fleeting fast (*"justice" is sung, but the official lyrics say comfort) Salvation, extinction, we're free at last
In excelsis Immortalis In extremis
And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love All for the sake of love
In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer
