lilium

been neglecting my keyboard in favor of other more "exciting" instruments lately. but you cant play lilium on the guitar or bass without sounding pretty too funked up. just like you cant play opera on the guitar or bass.

the song's in latin and is pretty much from Psalms and the epistle of James.

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam

Et lingua eius loqueter indicium


Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem

Quoniqmcum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae


Kyrie, ignis, divine, eleison

O quam sancta Quam serena

Quam benigna Quam amoena
O castitas Lilium!


The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom
And his language shall be clear

Blessed is he who suffers temptation
Since he, with striving, shall receive the crown of life

Lord, fire divine, have mercy
Oh how sacred How serene
How benevolent How lovely
Oh, lily of purity!
Lilium Elfen Lied

i'm flirting with the bass, flinging with the guitar, but in the end, my heart still belongs with the piano :P
