Limbonic Art - Ad noctum

The CD "Ad noctum" contains some latin phrases. First of all: the title, which means "to the night".

On the back side of the inlay you can read "nemo me impure lassesit. Mors certa vita incerta." The second part of the phrase is easy, but the first part contains some problems: "impure" means "impurely, viciuosly". "lassesit" doesn't exist. My thought was to exchange "lassesit" for "lacessit", and "impure" for "impune". If this is right, the phrase would mean: "Nobody provokes me without punishment. Death is certain, life uncertain."

Some more latin phrases you can find in the lyrics of "Pits of the cold beyond" and "Dynasty of Death".

In the first one there is "timor et tremor venerunt super me et caligo cecidit super me." - "Fear and tremble came over me and darkness fell over me."

In the second one there are just a few words: "locus reconditus occulta tenebrarum" - "A hidden place, secrets of the darkness."
