Top Catholic Songs – share, learn, promote

Sicut per Ignem is a project of catholic symphonic metal with lyrics in Latin.
I call it a project because it is not a band, though I occasionally hire vocalists for some parts...

Here is the website of the project: https://sicutperignem.wordpress.com/

Here are two songs I released two years ago. Although the production is not as polished as I hoped, it is already a good rendition of what I had in mind. You can find the lyrics at the end of this post.

 
 
Esto mi dux

Ubi civitas Sodoma fit,
Ubi palam adulter jam it,
Ubi caedes communis jam est,
Ub' infantes abortus jam est,

Esto mi dux,
Esto mi lux,
Deus, illumina me.

Esto mi rex,
Esto mi lex,
Veritas, educa me.

Quando pereunt maximae res,
Quando permanes unica spes,
Quando m'incidet ultima sors,
Quando veniet tacita mors,

Esto mi vox,
Resona mox,
Domine, voca me.

Esto mi fax,
Esto mi pax,
Spiritus, recrea me.

Ad stellam

Avis meis
Nuntiata
A prophetis
Nova stella.

Firmamentum
Observavi
Ad videndum
Astrum Dei.

Per tot montes,
Per tot lacus
Viatores
Facti sumus.

Passi solem,
Passi frigus
Ut infantem
Coleremus.

Dic, Herodes,
Scribae, ferte,
Sacerdotes,
Respondete :

Ubi rex
Iudaeorum,
Pontifex
In aeternum ?

Ephrata Bethleem, o tu
Iudae minima non es.

Nam exibit e te
Dominator Israel.

Ephrata Bethleem, o tu
Iudae minima non es.

Ad praesaepem
Procidamus,
Salvatorem
Adoremus.

Murrham, aurum
Ei demus,
Et incensum.
Salve, Salus !
