Vox Nihili Mentitus slashes Krysmphoenix in the vocal cords with it's soprano part and the severed part sails off in an arc!
Just music (synthetic vocals):
Just music (string quartet):

This theme took me the longest to write, just about all day. Why? Two words: parallel motion
Vox Nihili's dwarf was a pretty severe guy with a sense of self-aggrandisement. His name's in Latin... hey, why not make the whole thing in Latin! I really love Kyrie Eleisons and such, so I decided to write something along those lines: choral, a few repeated lyrics, and melismatic as all hell. I liked the way this turned out, though it probably works better as a string quartet than a vocal piece.
It had been some five years since I'd studied (and failed) Latin so here's a rough translation of what I had intended the words to mean:
Vox Nihili mentitus (Vox Nihili Lied)
Digitus medius (Middle Finger)
Nihili sum (I am nothing)
O miserere me (Have mercy on me)
