lyrics

Dies Irae

Verse 1
When you don’t believe that hell is, hell is real
When you feel the burning still, the burning still
When you don’t believe, look around

Chorus
Dies Irae, Dies Irae, Dies Irae
When the light of day is dead,
When the tears have been shed,
The books are opened in this light
Dies Irae, Dies Irae

Verse 2
When you don’t perceive the warning bells ringing,
When you don’t hear the bells ringing clear,
When you don’t believe the warning

Chorus

Bridge
When we are dust
What have we done?
When we are dust
This great love we shun
When we are dust
What have we done?

Verse 3
When you don’t believe that hell is, hell is real
When you feel the burning still, the burning still,
When you don’t believe, look around

Ending
When the gates are opening
Darkness surrounds, none to see
When the gates are opening, on this side of eternity
Dies Irae, Dies Irae…
