Lux Mortua: Act II — Vocatio (The Calling)

[00:00] [soft strings • distant bells • airy synths] [Intro] Umbra venit in foro stantis, Oculi flammae sine calore. “Videsne nubes orientes?” “Alius mundus post illas est.” O—o—o— (tenue) [00:50] [gentle tom taps • warm pads] [Verse 1] Domus dulcis, sed parva fit, Stratae eodem modo spirant. Vox occulta in corde clamitat, Ut ventus ultra colles. [01:35] [soft choir hums • harp arps] [Pre-Chorus] Cor meum ardet… pro ignoto, Flamma tenuis in pectore. Si ambulo, omnia mutantur, Si maneo, nihil mutabitur. [02:20] [light percussion • muted brass swells] [Chorus] Pallium rubrum ad ventum tendit, Volat sicut avis in aurora. Iter vocat, vox invicta, Umbrae et lux me trahunt. Ah—ah—ah (suspirans) [03:15] [flute and harp • soft synth shimmer] [Verse 2] Terra ignota vocat me nomine, Montes vetusti in somniis. Aqua silens, flamma occulta, Vestigia in limo fulgent. [04:00] [low organ pads • soft choir] [Pre-Chorus] Cor meum ardet… sicut fax noctis, Lucet etiam dum trepidat. Si ambulo, redeamne? Si cado, memor ero? [04:50] [brush percussion • mellow strings] [Chorus] Pallium rubrum ad ventum tendit, Volat sicut avis in aurora. Iter vocat, vox invicta, Umbrae et lux me trahunt. Ah—ah—ah (leniter) [05:40] [solo soprano • strings soft] [Bridge] Osculum dico matri, Silenium patri traditur. Passus primus, tremor in anima, Sed oculi mei in horizonte. [06:30] [soft reprise • fading synths] [Outro] Et sic ambulo in noctem, Vestitus rubro pallio spei. Cor meum ardet… et ego sequor.
