LATIN LYRICS:
Sic filii scite tibi vi sacramentum
Erit praemium sanguine sanctum
Erit praemium sanguine sanctum absconditum
Vel venio hūmānitās tendo pendēre
Sanguine sanctum
Honesta rete sanguinem
Expectare iste blasphemia
Es vītae ita dissimilum
Terrēs vīcerit trānem bestia
Honesta rete sanguinem
Expectare iste blasphemia
Hac mystērium obsumus
Arguam vitae ere non absolvis
Dido tuus
Timere
Dido tuus
Sanguine
Timere venēna scitis
Festiva praestābere
Sanguine sanctum
Ita venīte iste vinum
Languēscendum
O, succus temero
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
So the clever children made a mysterious covenant
Holy blood will be our reward
The secret of holy blood will be our reward
We strive to bless humanity with
Holy blood
The truth lies within the blood
To hesitate would be blasphemy
What is this strange creature?
Our land is beset by a beast from beyond
The truth lies within the blood
To hesitate would be blasphemy
We are plagued by mystery
Our eyes are yet to open
Spread the word
Be afraid
Spread the word
Of the blood
Fear its terrible curse
We will surely be devoured
By the holy blood
So, come drink this wine
Savour its sweetness
Oh, the dreadful nectar
