Author - Unknown
[Original in Latin]
Iuste iudex ultionis
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus
Oro supplex et acclinis
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis
Gere curam mei finis
[Translation to English]
Just judge of vengeance
make a gift of remission
before the day of reckoning
I sigh, like the guilty one:
my face reddens in guilt:
Spare the imploring one, O God
[Humbly] kneeling and bowed I pray
[My] heart crushed as ashes:
Take care of my end
Take care of my end
The lyrics make parallels to Spyro's transition to Dark Spyro, and what he felt. Spyro disrespected the Chronicler's advice, and left to face Gaul, being consumed by dark energy at the closure of the ritual and the formation of the eclipse. Spyro, while in this state, unconsciously know the error he committed, and begs for forgiveness of god, or the higher ancestral being of that world.
