Nightcore - City Of The Dead

When the latin kicks in, my mood goes from "Lol I love nightcore" to: lord, lend me your powers to rebuild your kingdom

I like to think that this song is about a holy paladin that he was given a quest to free a city from the undead but after a defeat he starts to lose his mind as he turns into an undead and this is his last memories and the latin part is his last plead to save his soul from eternal damnation

I see this as a female soldier singing this as the sole survivor of her squad. Anyway this song gives me goosebumps and sends a chill up my spine

The angelic voice, the "hopeless" background, the deep lyrics combined with the Latin is just.. I can't explain, it's like it's mending my soul's cracks.

Ok play it just one more time! (3 hours later) ONE MORE TIME!!!!

Here is to help people out: The latin chorus lyrics were taken from the ‘Dies Irae’ prayer. They translate as follows: Rex tremendae majestatis Qui salvandos salvas gratis Salve me, Fons Pietatis Salve me, Fons Pietatis (King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us Fount of pity, then befriend us) The latin lyrics were taken from the ‘Dies Irae’ prayer. They translate as follows: Quantus tremor est futurus Quando Judex est venturus Quantus tremor est futurus Quando Judex est venturus: (Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth) These latin lyrics were put together by Eurielle herself; they translate as follows: Damnata, invisus, ubique Ab omnibus, ad infinitum: (Damned, hated, everywhere, by everyone, forever!)

idk but i love latin ...even if i dont know a single word

LATIN MUST BE REVIVED

How can this song work as both Nightcore and Anti-Nightcore!? I can't even...

This honestly sounds like a cleric or some form of holy warrior on the brink of madness, but they are holding on long enough to say a protective prayer for their allies to keep them safe.

I was singing this on the bus to a chorus field trip and people looked at me like I was crazy.

"Hits replay button, Hits replay button, Hits replay button.... finally right clicks to auto replay." "You have become addicted to City Of The Dead."

This song has a problem at 4:20... It ends... ;) It's so great.

I love it ... But whenever someone else hears it they think I'm crazy. Not far from the truth thouw

i want this song played at my funeral that is all

this song sounds like an witch spell. i like it and i'm obssesed with it Edit: omg thanks for the likes, i never expected this

I feel like Nightcore, vocaloid and the sound of this sounds much more deep, and personal. Is it just me? Who else thinks this? This song is so beautiful... also relatable. So majestic. I love it.

Someone : what City do you live? Me : The City Of The Dead Someone : ...

me: listening to this at 3am me: hear creepy noise me:hides in blacket

The iron clad paladin was down, attempting to reach for his sword, he heard his princess singing, crying for his help as he tried to get up Must...help...the...p-princess... Then everything went black. He woke up about a day later, at least by his reckoning, he got his sword and used it as a support to walk. Wincing in pain he went to look for the princess. Although he found many bodies, most of them skeletons, it took him a few hours to find his princess. However, all he found was a pile of royal clothes, a skeleton in them. He noticed that there was no more flesh on it, yet like all the other skeletons he'd seen here, no animal would come near them. He noticed that the skeleton of his princess was holding an eerily looking skull. Everything he'd ever known was telling him to run, something was wrong here. Yet, he had to find out what happened to the princess he had sworn to protect. As he picked up the skull, he suddenly remembers what his princess had been singing: I'm scared, of what's inside my head, of what's inside my soul... suddenly he opens his eyes, its nighttime now, he finds he had been clutching the skull close to his chest. He hears his king nearby, searching for him. His king! He had to warn him. There was dark magic at place here. He tries to get up and run to his king but, he finds he is staying in the same position. I feel like I'm running, but getting nowhere. He tries to call out for his king, but nothing comes out. Fear, suffocating me, I can't breathe In fact, the more he struggled the more he was constricted in place. His white marks on his helmet, showing his devotion to the gods, were fading to red. White light fades to red. He remembered how this place was called 'The City of the Dead'. He had always wondered why, now he was about to find out. As I enter the City of the Dead His king! He was getting nearer! Maybe he could help! Rex tremendae maiestatis Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis Then the skull glowed and he tried to drop it, however it made him clutch it tighter and something started to travel through his body. I feel, it burning through my veins His muscles start to twitch, then spasm. It's driving me insane, the fever is rising, I'm going under. His head started to spin, what was he doing here again? What was his purpose? Who was he? Memories flash before my head, I'm losing time He felt whatever traveled through his body start to eat away at him The poison is killing me, taking over He took off his helmet and glanced at it, the white cloth now fully red as blood White light fades to red, as I enter the City of the Dead The king! He had- to warn- the KING! Rex tremendae majestatis qui salvandos salvas gratis salve me, fons pietatis salve me, fons pietatis quantus tremor est futurus quando judex est venmmturus quantus tremor est futurus quando judex est venmmturus damnata, invisus ubique ab omnibus, ad infinitum Something I wrote for fun and at the spur of a moment, sorry if I made a mistake or its bad
