1. O Death (Rock Me Asleep) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ O Death, O Death, rock me asleep, (In water...) Toll on, thou passing bell; Ring out my doleful knell; For I must... There is no remedy. My pains, my pains, who can express? Alas, they are so strong! My dolours will not suffer strength My life for to prolong. Toll on, thou passing bell; Ring out my doleful knell; For I must... There is no remedy. Farewell, farewell, my pleasures past! Welcome, my present pain! I feel my torment so increase That life cannot remain. (My Lord, my Lord) (...)(hear me...) [Lyrics by an anonymous author (ca. 1576)] 2. Downvain +++++++++++ Flow my tears, fall from your springs, Exiled for ever, let me mourn. Flow my tears, fall from your springs, Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forever. (Light doth but shame disclose) Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell! Down vain lights, shine you no more, No nights are dark enough for those That in despair their lost fortunes deplore; There let me live forever. (Light doth but shame disclose) Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Learn to contemn light; Happy, they that in hell Feel not the world's despite. Aaaa-aaah... Hark you shadows, there let me live forever. [Lyrics from John Dowland's (1563-1626) "Flow my tears"] 3. Stay 4. Disdain 5. Introit I ++++++++++++ Requiem... Requiem (to you)... 6. When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, Before high piled books, in charact'ry, Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain; When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance; And when I feel, fair creature of an hour! That I shall never look upon thee more, Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love! -- then on the shore Of (this) wide world I stand alone, and think Till Love and Fame (and) nothingness (to) sink. [Lyrics by John Keats (1795-1821)] 7. Luceat Eis +++++++++++++ ...a luceat eis... [Lyrics from the Catholic Requiem Mass] 8. Introit II +++++++++++++ Aeternam dona eis, Domine: Et lux perpetua luceat eis, Et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, Et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem: Et lux perpetua luceat eis, Et lux perpetua luceat eis. (...) Et lux perpetua luceat eis, Et lux perpetua luceat eis. ...a luceat eis... [Lyrics from the Catholic Requiem Mass] 9. Communion ++++++++++++ Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine: Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum, Qui pius es, requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis. Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum, Qui pius es, qui pius es, Dies illa, dies irae, Calamitatis et miseriae, Dies magna et amara valde. Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem. Requiem aeternum, aeternum... [Lyrics from the Catholic Requiem Mass] 10. Sanctus +++++++++++ How astonishing is the chance Of leaving this world impress a sense Of natural beauties on us; hallelujah! I think of green fields; I muse With the greatest affection on every flower I have known from my infancy; hallelujah! Their shapes and colours are as new to me As if I had just created them With a superhuman fancy; hallelujah! It is because they are connected With the most thoughtless and the happiest Moments of life. How astonishing is the chance Of leaving this world impress a sense Of natural beauties on us! The simple flowers of our Spring Are what I want to see again; hallelujah! [Lyrics by John Keats (1795-1821)] 11. Darkness ++++++++++++ Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Down vain lights, shine you no more, Learn to contemn (lights). Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forlorn, never may my woes be relieved. Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Down vain lights, shine you no more, Down vain lights, shine you no more, Learn to contemn (lights). Lalalalala-la, lalala-la-la, There let me live in shadows that in darkness dwell. Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Lalalalala-la, lalala-la-la, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell. [Lyrics from John Dowland's (1563-1626) "Flow my tears"] 12. Darkness (Stromkern) ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Exiled for ever, let me mourn, Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Down vain lights, shine you no more, Down vain lights, shine you no more, Learn to contemn (lights). Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forlorn, never may my woes be relieved. Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Exiled for ever, let me mourn, Where night's black bird (her sad) infamy sings. Down vain lights, shine you no more, Down vain lights, shine you no more, Learn to contemn (lights). Lalalalala-la, lalala-la-la, There let me live in shadows that in darkness dwell. Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell. [Lyrics from John Dowland's (1563-1626) "Flow my tears"]
