Elfen Lied - Ilium

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,
Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison
O quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigma, quam amoena
O castitatis lilium

    If you like this kind of music I must recommend you to Allegri and Bai’s Miserere Mei, Deus. I like the performance by Ensemble William Byrd a lot.

    (Note: The piece known as Allegri’s Miserere Mei, Deus is usually performed from an altered score; Bai’s score, straight from the Vatican library, is considered the most authentic rendition of Allegri’s work.)

    This sounds like modern classical.

    Actually I’m not sure how to describe it. It reminds me of New Age but isn’t quite as hallucinogenic *g*

    Well, I think the musical arrangement is most likely modern, but I could be wrong. The lyrics however, aren’t.

    It is an excerpt from the Latin Vulgate edition of the Bible. The passage is from James 1:

    “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”

    Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment. :)

    I’m not sure where in Singapore can you get the anime, I think it probably wouldn’t pass the censors, as there is quite abit of nudity and violence. And the violence is quite extreme, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it before.

    The violence serves the storyline though, so don’t worry, its not indiscriminate or gratuitous.

    The only thing you’re left with is fansubs. You’ll have to find them yourself though. :) Please do. You won’t regret it.

    here is the translation for if eny one was wondering

    The Just shall meditate wisdom
    And his tongue shall speak judgement
    Blessed is he who resists temptation
    For at trial he shall receive the crown of life
    Lord, Divine Fire, have mercy
    O how holy, how calm, how benevolent
    How comforting, O lily of purity

    this is one of my fav. animes ever…
    the only one that ever gave me nighmares (about a dog being killed with a vase)

    I just wanted to say that this is the most “beautifull” anime i’ve ever seen! It rilly depresses me at the end=( what that girl has been trough all that time and not being understood just makes me wanne cry=( well in fact it did=( *looks ashamed* the music is great as well it wouldn’t be the same without it. The music releases feelings inside of persons that are so painfull and depressing I think.

    If you want to have the anime I’ll tell you a very easy way;-) Just add me at Soulraver1989@hotmail.com
    The anime will also be availible on my future website. It won’t take long anymore. But for now if you want it just add me to your MSN or mail me;)
