Lacrimosa - Lichtgestalt

Hi

I just wondered if anyone here knows Lacrimosa and heard there new album Lichtgestalt. To be honest Lacrimosa is the greatest band ever . Only a few other bands come close to them but they seem to be unreachable .

So anyone wants to share his impressions of the album?

Have not heard that full album yet.

Mozart died listening to Lacrimosa

But i am sure you will survive the ordeal.


Lacrimosa from Requiem

"On the very eve of his death, [Mozart] had the score of the Requiem brought to his bed, and himself (it was two o'clock in the afternoon) sang the alto part; Schack, the family friend, sang the soprano line, as he had always previously done, Hofer, Mozart's brother-in-law, took the tenor, Gerle, later a bass singer at the Mannheim Theater, the bass. They were at the first bars of the Lacrimosa when Mozart began to weep bitterly, laid the score on one side, and eleven hours later, at one o'clock in the morning (of 5 December 1791, as is well known), departed this life."

LACRIMOSA LYRICS - REQUIEM


(9:51)


Als die Sonne den Tag verliess
Den Finger am Abzug
Die Fl_sse im Dreck
Die Augen fest verschlossen, die Seele verkrampft
Die Erinnerung gefressen, Die Zukunft voller Angst
Ein Engel am Tor der H_lle
Luzifer im Paradies
Eine Jungfrau fl_stert meinen Namen

In nomine patris, filii et spirituus sancti
Amen

Lass mein Licht noch brennen
Und gib mir deinen Namen
Seid Still
Und lasset mich leben
Nur diesen Augenblick
Nur noch einen Moment

Dann nehmt mich mit
Lasst mich noch beten
Lasst mich noch einmal fliehen
Ich komme zur_ck zu euch
Aber niemals zum Teufel

In nomine patris, filii et spirituus sancti
Amen

Wer schickt nach mir ?
Ich bin doch nicht blind
Und doch, ich kann nichts mehr sehen
Es ist soweit, habe ich recht ?
Darf ich noch etwas sagen ?
H_rt mir noch jemand zu ?
Hat es noch ein Gewicht ?
Wer kann mich jetzt noch sp_ren ?
Ist es geschehen ?
Ist es vorbei ?
Ist es geschehen ?





When the sun left the day the finger at the departure the Fl_sse locked in the dirt the eyes firmly, the soul cramps the memory eaten, the future of full fear an angel at the gate of the H_lle Luzifer in the paradies a virgin fl_stert my names Into nomine patris, filii spirituus sancti Amen et Let my light still burn and give me your name are quiet and let me live only this instant only one moment Then take me with let me still pray let me again flee I however never come zur_ck to you to the devil Into nomine patris, filii spirituus sancti Amen et Who sends after me? I am not blind and nevertheless nevertheless, I can to nothing more see it am so far, am right I? May I say still something? H_rt me still someone too? Does it have still another weight? Who can now still sp_ren me? Did it happen? Is it past? Did it happen?
