Lacrimosa Lyrics

[Chorus 2]
Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling
From the dust of earth
Returning back, for judgement must prepare me
Spare, oh god spare me

Lacrimosa

[Verse 3]
We keep on burying our dead
We keep on planting their bones in the ground
But they won't grow
The sun doesn't help
And all we've got
Is a giant crop
Of names and dates


[Chorus 3]
Hi, I'm Icarus I'm falling down
Ah! this day of tears and mourning
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgement must prepare me
Spare, oh god, spare me
[Outro]
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus
Huic ergo parce, Deus

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
