Lyrics
Agens mortis, Maria sanguis
Bringer of death, Mary's blood
Agens agnum mortis annuntiat
Bringing the lamb of death announces
Made by flesh and bones
Human creation, composed of flesh and bones
Resting in pain
Resting in agony
Lay down with your sins
Lie down with the burden of your sins
When you look into an abyss
Confronting the abyss, facing darkness
The abyss looks into you
The abyss gazes back at you
Deeper goes your scream
Your scream echoes deeper into despair
Convicted, damned
Judged and condemned
Branded by grief
Marked by sorrow and suffering
Delight to be thief
Find pleasure in being a thief
Convicted, damned
Judged and condemned
Branded by grief
Marked by sorrow and suffering
Amen
Amen (So be it)
Agens mortis, Maria sanguis
Bringer of death, Mary's blood
Agens agnum mortis annuntiat
Bringing the lamb of death announces
Agens mortis, Maria sanguis
Bringer of death, Mary's blood
Agens agnum mortis annuntiat
Bringing the lamb of death announces
Oh, bloody Mary
Addressing Bloody Mary, symbolizing suffering
For those who truly suffered
For those who have truly experienced pain
Nevertheless time has come
Despite suffering, the time for change has arrived
Oh, bloody Mary
Addressing Bloody Mary, symbolizing suffering
Maria sanguis annuntiat
Mary's blood announces
This is my body, which is for you
Reference to Christian sacrament, the body given for others
Do this in remembrance of me
Command to remember through this act
This cup is the new covenant in my blood
Referring to the Christian concept of a new covenant in blood
Do this, whenever you drink it,
Command to remember through drinking
in remembrance of me
Repeat in memory of me
Do this
Emphasis on the command
Amen
Amen (So be it)
