A Thousand Deaths Lyrics

In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer Immortales resurrectus Let thy whisper dry our tears In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer Immortales resurrectus Let thy promise calm our fears Hosanna, hosanna, aeterna Holy we'll arrive for evermore

(Ancient arabic chant)

Two lovers, two forces of love and hate I pull you, you pull me, we complicate Unlikely defendants in a lovers' trial And facing a world in complete denial From London to Aden, the stage is set Two cultures in conflict, love under threat

And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love

(Ancient arabic chant)

The fires of the righteous will always burn And turn us on each other until we learn To harness the power of our distinction And throw off these shackles of bad religion One thousand and one nights can change everything You are my scheherazade, I am your king
In excelsius benedictus Immortalis lacunam In extremis abyss domus Introitus gloriam

And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love And I breathe in fire and ash All for the sake of love And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love

In excelsius benedictus Immortalis lacunam In extremis abyss domus Introitus gloriam

The last hope for comfort* is fleeting fast (*"justice" is sung, but the official lyrics say comfort) Salvation, extinction, we're free at last

In excelsis Immortalis In extremis

And I die A Thousand Deaths All for the sake of love All for the sake of love

In excelsius benedictus Blessed angels hear our prayer

(Ancient arabic chant)
