Crucifixus Tenebrarum

[Intro]
Crucifixus
in caligine
sub corona
spinarum
Sanguis cadit
super terram
Ecce homo
solus clamat
[Verse 1]
Clavi tristi
carni intrant
ossa frangunt
cor trementem
Mater plorat
sub arcubus
lacrimarum
via sacra
[Chorus]
Crucifixus, rex afflictus
in tenebris pendet solus
Crucifixus, vulneratus
pro peccatis mundi nostri
Crucifixus, rex afflictus
vox silenta, vox tonitrus
Crucifixus, adoramus
sanguinem et misericordiam
[Verse 2]
"Deus meus"
vox quassata
cur reliquus
hic derelictus?
Sol obscurus
velum scissum
saxa clamant
terra tremit

Agnus Dei
qui tollis
peccata mundi
miserere
Agnus Dei
sanguineo
in altari
ligni sacri
[Chorus]
Crucifixus, rex afflictus
in tenebris pendet solus
Crucifixus, vulneratus
pro peccatis mundi nostri
Crucifixus, rex afflictus

Crucifixus, adoramus
sanguinem et misericordiam

[Choir swelling, band grinding down to half-time]
Consummatum est
vox ultima
Silentium fit
spes oritur
