I am a preacher waiting for the end
I seek to cure the ones who pretend
that they have the power to give
their lives a meaning, a reason to live
Bury your childish dreams
and turn your ears to me
listen to my melody
Close your eyes and cease to try
gnash your teeth and hope to die
The day of reckoning is near
your wealth will turn into despair
Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae
I believed in every word
with the saddest melody on earth
Now I’m an old man, struggling with my past
old enough to end my song, and breath my last
Was I a good soldier? Did I serve my time well?
Did I save many souls from the torments of hell?
Or did I live in vain,
preaching just grief and pain,
brought by the day that never came?
Close your eyes and cease to try
gnash your teeth and hope to die
The day of reckoning is near
your wealth will turn into despair
Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae
I curse the day that I heard
The saddest melody on earth
Fear has been my guide
till the autumn of my life
and when I realized the wasted years
I bowed my head and burst to tears
And as the teardrops hit the ground
I heard them make a quiet sound
They fell down into the dirt
and played the saddest melody on earth
Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae
It was the last time that I heard
The saddest melody on earth
