Arch Enemy - War Eternal (2014)
The first song of this record actually is just an instrumental, but at the end a choir sings some Latin phrases:
De fumo in flammam - out of the smoke into the flame
Tempore nihil sanat - literally: nothing heals by time or: time heals nothing
Noli ignoscere - don't forgive!
Noli oblivisci - don't forget!
Odire humanum est - to hate is human.
The infinitive "odire" is an old, archaic form, later the form "odisse" was the normal one.

Brilliant idea for a blog! And, your explanations are very enlightening
Unfortunately, "tempore nihil sanat" is incorrect. "tempore" is the ablative of "tempus". However, "tempus" is supposed to be the subject of the sentence and should be in the nominative. "Tempus nihil sanat" would be correct. I wish metal bands actually asked someone who knows Latin before they release such stuff.
Isn't it the PIE instrumental that became ablative in Latin? I don't think it is the subject but expresses through or by what means nothing heals.(native speaker of a Romance language here and I've studied Latin for 2 years)
