Lyrics Nox Aurumque (Night and Gold) - Eric Whitacre

Aurum, (Gold)
Infuscatum noctis, (Tarnished and dark)
Canens noctis, (Singing of night)
Canens mortis, (Singing of death)
Acquiscens canendo... (Singing itself to sleep...)

Et angelum somnit aurorarum et bellorum, (And an angel dreams of dawnings and of war)
Saecluorum aurorum fund it lacrimas, (She weeps tears of the golden times)
Lacras rerun bellorum. (Tears of the cost of war.)

O arma! (O Shield)
O Lamina Aurata! (O gilded blade)
Gestu graves nimium, (You are to heavy to carry)
Graves nimium volatu. (Too heavy for flight)

Aurum, (Gold)
Imfuscatum et torpidum (Tarnished and weary)
Suscita! (Awaken)
Dilabere ex armis in alam! (Melt from weapon into wing)
Volemus iterum, (Let us soar again)
Alte supra murum; (High above this wall)
Angeli renascentes et exultantes ad alas (Angels reborn and rejoicing)
Auroraraum, (Of dawn)
Aurorum, (Of gold)
Somnorum. (Of dream)

Aurum, (Gold)
Canens alarum, (Singing of wings)
Canens umbrarum... (Singing of shadows.)
