These are misquoted. It's from the lyrics of a band called Angra - the song is called "Acid Rain". Here are the correct lyrics (I think):

Miseribus, Sanctus, Pecatorius hominus
Miseribus, Sanctus, Pecatorius hominus
Miseribus, Sanctus, Domine Deo Sabbaoth! Domine

Shouldn't it be pecatoribus also then??

Would you start to edit or resend to requester?

THanks?

Actually, I found at least three different versions of this on the web, so I wrote to the web site manager of the band to ask what the actual Latin words are, so let's wait and see what he says.

Is this translation now correct, Porfyhr?

Now when I finally got a correct text it is clearly medieval Latin of ecclesiastical origin and should not be interpreted as classical Latin.
It looks like a part of the Magnificat, the profession of one's faith, but not exact.
"Miserere meam" is a known part of the Magnificat. "The Lord of Host" is also a very known expression of the Requiæm, although not classical Latin, but ecclesiastical Latin .

Thank you! Medieval Latin is, as you surely know, much more difficult...

Do you know the music? I must listen to them on YouTube.

I don't know them, but I did listen to them on YouTube just to try to make out the words. I thought they were awful, but I'm *very* picky about music!

P.S. I couldn't find this in the magnificat.

I wonder if it's a corruption of the "agnus dei": miserere nobis, etc., etc.
