Powerwolf arose out of the void and ascended the top of the cross within just a few years. Their last record reached the top of the German charts, their newest one - released today - may repeat the success. We'll see. At the moment, I lack the whole lyrics of their new record, therefore I enter the past and gonna talk about their 2007-release "Lupus Dei".
The first song (The Wolf of the Demon) and the last one (The Wolf of God) on this record contain latin phrases:
~ Lupus Daemonis ~
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
This is the Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou
amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of death. Amen.
~ Lupus Dei ~
Cantus lupus
Satura luna
Corpus nudus domina
Agnus totus
Animus mortus
Ave deus sinistra
Cultus lupus
Opus damnatus
Metus mortis nocturna
Terra sanguis
Padre occultus
Sanctus pupus anima
These words are grammatically c..., a few latin words just strung together without considering grammar rules, declination or conjugation. I translate them litterally, so everybody can interpret them by himself.
Totally wrong is the line corpus nudus domina for example. The word "corpus" is neutral case, the word "domina" feminine case. If "nudus" should refer to "corpus", the correct ending would be "nudum", if if should refer to "domina", the correct ending would be "nuda", or better, in genitive case (= of the nude lady) "dominae nudae".
song wolf
sated moon
body nude lady
lamb whole
Spirit dead
Ave god evil
cult wolf
work damned
fear of the dead nocturnal
land blood
by the father occult
holy little boy soul
But there are more important things like case endings, if you reach the top of the charts, I guess.... Look forward new record. To see you. !
