Good Day to Die

The Redeemer Project Album: Eliyahu Track 18

Listen


Notes

Well, you knew it was coming.

No Redeemer Project album is complete without a Klingon Death Metal track, and here it is. This time, I actually composed all of the Klingon lyrics myself (with the help of a translator). The AI helped a little bit with the English, but not much.

All of the Klingon is translated in-song, except for the bridge, which translates roughly to "Stovokor awaits! Glory to the Empire!"

Stovokor, as we all know, is the Klingon version of heaven, tho it sounds more like Valhalla - the home of honored warriors who have died in battle.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Skies ablaze as doom descends
Breath of fire brings fate's decree
Kahless' blood runs in my veins!!
Unrelenting, hear the battle cry!

[Verse 2]
Mountains weep and oceans boil
Spilled the blood of mighty foes
The warrior's doom is now in sight
Today, damnation takes its flight!

[Bridge]
Stovokor, jI'Hegh!
ba'la jIlop puj'a'

[Chorus]
qorDu' tlhIngan qun (for the glory of Kronos)
qeylIS batlh wejpuH (the great honor of Kahless)
ghu'vetlh luSopchu'DI' (for the power of the Empire)
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

[Verse 3]
Iron will and heart of stone
Rivers flow with blood and bone
The warrior's heart, the devil's bane
His final breath gives no disdain

[Verse 4]
Mountains weep and oceans boil
Spilled the blood of mighty foes
The warrior's doom is now in sight
Today, damnation takes its flight!

[Bridge]
Stovokor, jI'Hegh!
ba'la jIlop puj'a'

[Chorus]
qorDu' tlhIngan qun (for the glory of Kronos)
qeylIS batlh wejpuH (the great honor of Kahless)
ghu'vetlh luSopchu'DI' (for the power of the Empire)
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

[Chorus]
qorDu' tlhIngan qun (for the glory of Kronos)
qeylIS batlh wejpuH (the great honor of Kahless)
ghu'vetlh luSopchu'DI' (for the power of the Empire)
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

[Shouted] TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!

[Verse 5]
Iron will and heart of stone
Rivers flow with blood and bone
The warrior's heart, the devil's bane
His final breath gives no disdain

[Chorus]
qorDu' tlhIngan qun 
qeylIS batlh wejpuH 
ghu'vetlh luSopchu'DI' (for the power of the Empire)
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

[Chorus]
qorDu' tlhIngan qun (for the glory of Kronos)
qeylIS batlh wejpuH (the great honor of Kahless)
ghu'vetlh luSopchu'DI' (for the power of the Empire)
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!
