Funeral Mist - Agnus Dei - Salvation (2003)
Agnus Dei means "lamb of God". This song contains some latin lines which refer to the Apostles' Creed.
Qui tollis peccata mundi - you who clear the sins of the world
[...]
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est
Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis,
cujus latus perforatum unda fluxit sanguine
Cruxified also for us, under Pontius Pilatus, suffered and buried
You who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost once
whose waist pierced, a wave of blood ran out
The second line "qui..." is from a 10th century hymn. It was used by Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) and by Morten Lauridsen (*1943) in his sacral piece "Lux eterna" from 1997.
