How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The original of this song appears on Michel Chion’s “Requiem” and is the most important track from that album.

“Dies Irae” means “Day of Wrath” and derives from an old latin hymn. In Music, it is usually used to compose Requiems.

Note furthermore that the (as of 1978) official genres of the original song is credited as “non-music”, which was a subgenre later (somewhere in the 1980s) incorporated into the modern distorted noise-music
