Dark Days by Timothy A. Helisek
Dark Days was originally written in December of 2008 as a movie trailer. The original recording used electronic orchestral samples. In 2019, the Moscow Bow Tie Orchestra recorded the orchestral parts with Vladimir Podgoretsky conducting. Although I thought at the time that I would just release this single as an orchestral piece, without the choir parts, I was disappointed in the sound without the choir parts that I had originally envisioned. In 2020, also under the direction of Vladimir Podgoretsky, I recorded the Moscow Bow Tie Choir. The result was exactly what I had in my head.

Lyrics
Latin Text:
Quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum.
Et in diebus illis quaerent homines mortem et non invenient eam
.
Abaddon habebant super se regem angelum abyssi
vae unum abiit ecce veniunt adhuc
duo vae post haec
English Translation:
For the great day of their wrath is come.
And in those days, men shall seek death and shall not find it.
Abaddon, king, the angel of the bottomless pit.
One woe is past: and behold there come yet
two woes more hereafter.
