Ecce Homo

by Kaiju

1.
Rising from the sea An ancient creature A force of nature Who’s got nowhere to be The beast has awoken I will weigh down your burden I will let you struggle To open the all-seeing eye And contemplate the majesty of this monster The beast has awoken And now I realize These black stones are alive They are marching Toward the old twisted tree They are all gathering To worship the demon The beast has awoken

Stabat Mater dolorosa Juxta crucem lacrimosa dum pendebat Filius. Cuius animam gementem, contristatam et dolentem, pertransivit gladius. O quam tristis et afflicta fuit illa benedicta Mater Unigeniti. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat, Pia Mater cum videbat Nati pœnas incliti. Quis est homo qui non fleret, Matrem Christi si videret in tanto supplicio? Quis non posset contristari, Christi Matrem contemplari dolentem cum Filio? The grieving Mother stood Weeping beside the cross Where Her Son was hanging. The grieving Mother stood Weeping beside the cross Where Her Son was hanging. Grieving, Weeping Where Her Son was hanging. Pro peccatis suæ gentis vidit Iesum in tormentis et flagellis subditum. Vidit suum dulcem natum morientem desolatum, dum emisit spiritum. Eia Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac, ut tecum lugeam. Fac ut ardeat cor meum in amando Christum Deum, ut sibi complaceam. Sancta Mater, istud agas, Crucifixi fige plagas cordi meo valide. Tui nati vulnerati, tam dignati pro me pati, pœnas mecum divide. The grieving Mother stood Weeping beside the cross Where Her Son was hanging. The grieving Mother stood Weeping beside the cross Where Her Son was hanging. Grieving, Weeping Where Her Son was hanging. Fac me tecum pie flere, Crucifixo condolere, donec ego vixero. Iuxta crucem tecum stare, et me tibi sociare in planctu desidero. Virgo virginum præclara, mihi iam non sis amara: fac me tecum plangere. Fac ut portem Christi mortem, passionis fac consortem, et plagas recolere. Fac me plagis vulnerari, fac me cruce inebriari, et cruore Filii. Flammis ne urar succensus per te Virgo, sim defensus in die judicii Christe, cum sit hinc exire, da per Matrem me venire ad palmam victoriae. Quando corpus morietur, fac ut animæ donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen ! In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.

Behold, a virgin shall Conceive and bear a son The people that walked in darkness They shall see a great light Those who dwell in the land Of the shadow of death Upon them had the light shined Worthy is the Lamb that is born Ecce Homo Behold the man He is dying Ecce Homo This is a man Not a messiah Behold, darkness shall cover the earth And gross darkness the people But the Lord shall arise upon you And His glory shall be seen upon you Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened Then shall the tongue of the dumb sing Behold the Lamb of God Which took away the sin of the world Ecce Homo Behold the man He is dying Ecce Homo This is a man Not a messiah He trusted in God That He would deliver Him Let Him deliver Him If He delights in Him Worthy is the Lamb that was slain And had redeemed us to God by His blood To receive power, and riches, and wisdom And strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing Blessing and honour, glory and power Be unto Him that sat upon the throne And unto the Lamb, for ever and ever Amen, this is a man
