About the song
This song came to me at 3:00am when I was urged out of bed to get it down on paper for fear of losing it by morning. This song insisted on being sung in Latin so dilligently I tried my best to translate it. A few weeks later Don brought a track to the table that had no words and no melody but the flavour was incredible. I tried adding the prayer to the instrumental and the result is a beautiful, inspiring prayer for peace.
Lyrics
Pacis

Terra, Aeris, Ignis, Aqua
Elementum muto

Pacis, Nove Spiritus

Ah
Pecatus, coratio, renovatio

Lucis, coratio
Lucis, renovatio

Offero tu defendo, spero, lucis
Pacis, semper pacis
Dico acerbus evanesco
Offero novus spiritus
Acerbus evanesco!

Invalesco
Pacis, acerbus evanesco!

Lucis, una vocis in acerbus

Pacis
Pacis Modo
Pacis semper
Pacis

*translation to above*

Peace

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
We are the elements, the elements of change

Peace, a new spirit

Ah
Reconciliation and renewal
Light, renewal
Light, reconciliation

We offer you protection
Hope, light and peace always peace

We speak to the darkness and say begone!
We say we offer a new spirit
Darkness begone!

Peace in the darkness
Peace, a voice in the darkness

Peace
Peace now
Peace always
Peace
