Infernum Lyrics

Falkenbach Infernum

In Latin:

nigra scuta, tincta corpora; atras ad proelia noctes
legunt ipsaque formidine atque umbra feralis exercitus
terrorem inferunt,

tincta corpora; atras ad proelia noctes

nullo hostium sustinente novum ac velut infernum



In English:

They wear black shields, their bodies are painted black,
they choose dark nights for engaging in battle; and by
the very awe and ghastly hue of their army, strike the
enemy with dread, as none can bear this their aspect so
surprising and as it were quite infernal.

their bodies are painted black, they choose dark nights
for engaging in battle;

as none can bear this their aspect so surprising and as
it were quite infernal.
