Whoa, dude
I totally almost forgot.

So Death Note music is awesome, especially the chorals. This cool thing happened a few weeks ago: My dad was with me driving (I was getting hours in) and I had Death Note going, and he suddenly mentioned that it sounded like they were singing parts of the traditional Latin Mass. I was like Duuu~de. So the other night I decided to do a direct comparison with the words of the Requiem Mass (using the booklet that came with Verdi's) and TADAA. I present to you now the lyrics, Latin and translated, to some of the choral tracks from DN.

Death Note Theme
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus.
This day, this day of wrath
Shall consume the world in ashes,
As foretold by David and the Sibyl.
What trembling there shall be
When the judge shall come
To weigh everything strictly.

Kyrie
Kyrie Eleison
Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Lord have mercy on us
Christ have mercy on us
Lord have mercy on us

Teleology of Death
Liber scriptus proferetur
In quo totum continetur
Unde mundus judicetur.
The written book shall be brought
In which all is contained
Whereby the world shall be judged.
(So fitting! o.o)

Requiem
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon them.

WHEEEE, okay, Latin buzz wearing off. Anyway, in case you wanna sing along with those catchy tunes (I know I do! ...no really), there are the lyrics. And you know what they mean too. Woot.
