Music from the Crypt

Mopping the floors again, to the haunting plea.

It has to be done.

Great upheavals, even restoring, brings angst and dismay to many.  

Not a time to forget the evil of the past, but a time to seek forgiveness and, yes, give it.



Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
miserere nobis.
have mercy upon us.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
miserere nobis.
have mercy upon us.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
dona nobis pacem.
grant us peace.

Warriors may recall that this was used as the score for the film Platoon.

Appropriate.

Warriors need to give and receive forgiveness.

  1. Wow that's lovely! I think I like that at least as much as the strings version, too!

    1. Yes. The Orhestral is beautiful but a good enunciation of the words brings home the meaning.

Our Bouncer is a gentleman of muscle and guile. His patience has limits. He will check you at the door.

The Tavern gets rowdy visitors from time to time. Some are brain dead and some soul dead. They attack customers and the bar staff and piss on the carpets. Those people will not be allowed in anymore. So... Be Nice..
