Dies Irae (from Karl Jenkins' Requiem)

Dies Irae (День Гнева)
Music by Karl Jenkins
Slavic Chorale
Pavel Kravchuk, Conductor

Text:
The day of wrath, that day
Will dissolve the world in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyl!

How much tremor there will be,
when the Judge will come,
investigating everything strictly!

The trumpet, scattering a wondrous sound
through the graves of all lands and regions,
will summon all before the Throne.

Death and nature will marvel,
when all creation arises
to respond to the Judge.

The written book will be brought forth,
in which all is contained,
from which the world shall be judged.

When therefore the Judge will sit,
whatever hides will appear:
nothing will remain unpunished.

What am I, miserable, then to say?
Which patron to ask,
when even the "just" may only hardly be sure?
