Eric Whitacre - Nox Aurumque lyrics

-Latin- AURUM, INFUSCATUM ET OBSCURUM, CANENS NOCTIS, CANENS MORTIS, ACQUIESCENS CANENDO ET ANGELUM SOMNIT AURORARUM ET BELLORUM, SAECULORUM AURORUM FUNDIT LACRIMAS, LACRIMAS RERUM BELLORUM. O ARMA! O LAMINA AURATA! GESTU GRAVES NIMIUM, GRAVES NIMIUM VOLATU. AURUM, INFUSCATUM ET TORPIDUM SUSCITA! DILABERE EX ARMIS IN ALAM! VOLEMUS ITERUM, ALTE SUPRA MURUM; ANGELI RENASCENTES ET EXULTANTES AD ALAS AURORARUM, AURORUM, SOMNORUM. AURUM, CANENS ALARUM, CANENS UMBRARUM. -English- Gold, Tarnished and dark, Singing of night, Singing of d**h, Singing itself to sleep. And an angel dreams of sunrise, And war. Tears of the ages. O shield! O gilded blade! You are too heavy to carry, Too heavy for flight. Gold, Tarnished and weary, Awaken! Melt from weapon to wing! Let us soar again, High above this wall; Angels reborn and rejoicing with wings made Of dawn, Of gold, Of dream. Gold, Singing of wings, Singing of shadows.
