lyrics

Videbitis qualis et quantus mundi sit
Error in illecebris
Rectores habentes greges pomposi qui condunt leges
Ubi iam sunt

Quorum gesta quia fuerunt in latebris
Velud funesta nunc perierunt in tenebris
Videbitis qualis et quantus mundi sit
Error in illecebris

Multi reges ante fuerunt mundi passus qui transierunt
Ubi iam sunt

Graves et ossa putressentes in delubris
Spiritus et anime vultu gementes cum miseris
Videbitis qualis et quantus mundi sit
Error in illecebris

Consultum est qui sunt venientes
Ubi iam sunt

De seipsis sint cogitantes
Ut tuti securi atque defensi de lugubris
Erecti sint et congaudentes cum superis
Videbitis qualis et quantus mundi sit
Error in illecebris


Where Are They Now?

You will see what and how much in the world is
Seductive error
The leaders of the flocks, the pompous law-makers
Where are they now?

Because they acted in subterfuge
Now they have perished in darkness
You will see what and how much in the world is
Seductive error

Many elegant kings in the past crossed over
Where are they now?

And felt the pain of putrifying bones in their tombs
Their punished souls and spirits lamenting amongst the damned
You will see what and how much in the world is
Seductive error

It is to be considered by those who are yet to come
Where are they now?

May they reflect upon themselves so that safe and sheltered from grief
They may be raised up to rejoice with those above
You will see what and how much in the world is
Seductive error
