tengen toppa gurren lagann
Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future in which human beings have been forced under Earth's surface and live in isolated subterranean civilizations. These "villages" have no contact with the surface world or other villages. Because frequent earthquakes damage infrastructure, the villages must constantly extend deeper into the earth — individuals relegated to this task are known as "diggers".
Giha Village is the home of Simon, a fourteen-year-old digger who was orphaned when his parents were killed in an earthquake. Although Simon is respected by the village elders as the best of the diggers, he is ostracized by his peers. Simon discovers a special drill key deep in the ground and is soon recruited by an eccentric fellow orphan named Kamina into his group "The Gurren Brigade". Kamina dreams of the surface world, which he once visited as a child, though he had to return home as he was too weak to survive there.
After a failed attempt at reaching the surface, Kamina is jailed by the village elder. Simon resumes digging, only to discover "a big face" deep in his tunnel. As he excitedly fetches Kamina to show him the discovery, Simon is also caught by the village elder. Fortuitously, Kamina's punishment is interrupted by the collapse of the ceiling over Giha Village, as an enormous robot falls into the cavern. A girl named Yoko appears and tries to defeat the machine with a large rifle, but to no avail. Simon takes Kamina and Yoko to the "big face" he found earlier and discovers that the small drill key can be used to activate a small robot, named "Lagann", which he uses to destroy the invading robot and effectively break through to the surface.
Once on the surface, Simon and Kamina discover there are more large robots known as "Gunmen" (piloted by "Beastmen") that terrorize the surface dwellers during the day. Simon and Kamina help Yoko and her village destroy three more Gunmen of which Kamina takes one for himself, naming it the "Gurren". Eventually, Simon and Kamina decide to embark on a journey to end the constant struggle between the Beastmen and humans, and are initially accompanied by Yoko and Leeron, a mechanic from Yoko's village. As they head out to find the headquarters of the Beastmen's Human Eradication Army, the group encounters various Beastmen warriors including the vicious Viral.
Along the way, Simon and the others are joined by more humans, including the "Black Siblings", led by Kittan, and Rossiu, a strict young man from an underground village, to form "The Dai-Gurren Brigade".
Before a final battle with their old enemy, Viral, the Dai-Gurren Brigade plans to hi-jack a giant Gunmen with which the Beastmen have previously attacked them. Kamina plans for Simon to steal the Gunmen using his robot, Lagann. After some encouraging words from Yoko, Simon starts to remember all the time they have spent together and realizes his love for her. As Simon is thinking of her, Yoko walks off to meet Kamina. While Kamina is talking, Yoko kisses him, and he reciprocates. Tragically, Simon follows Yoko and discovers that she loves his brother instead of him. This causes Simon a significant amount of psychological trauma and consequently to be distracted during the final battle, ultimately contributing to Kamina's death.
Though Kamina dies in the ensuing battle, the Dai-Gurren Brigade ultimately defeats the Human Eradication Army, causing the arrival of Nia, the mysterious "daughter" of the Beastmen leader Lordgenome, and the repopulation of Earth's surface.
The second half of the series takes place seven years in the future. Led by Simon and members of the Dai-Gurren brigade, mankind has become prosperous. Though all seems well, once one million humans have repopulated the surface, two new conflicts arise with the arrival of the Anti-Spirals, including Nia's sudden "transformation" into their messenger, and as the Moon threatens to literally fall into Earth. Simon, along with the rest of the Brigade and his reformed enemy Viral, then leads the battle to defeat the Anti-Spirals and save Earth.
"Libera me" from hell
Track 19 of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Best Sound Disc 2. It's used as background music in the final battle of Simon and Nia against the Anti-Spirals. It combines roman catholic requiem with rap, making this song been a kind of "rap opera" or "symphonic rap". As the rest of the tracks, it was composed by great Iwasaki Tarou. Here you have the lyrics. Enjoy ;D
[Requiem aeternam. Dona eis, Domine]
Do the impossible
see the invisible
raw! raw!
fight the power!
touch the untoucheable
break the unbreakable
raw! raw!
fight the power!
Power to the peeps, power for the dream
still missing piece scattering, so incomplete
we be the most incredible soldier from underground
see how easy, they all fall down
digging to the core to see the light
Let’s get out of here babe, that’s the way to survive, ya
top of the head, I’m on the set
do the impossible, don’t you wanna bet?
cuz, a lot of things changed, we be waiting in vain
if you wanna get by, no pain no gain
wow! fakers wanna test me again
sorry, my rhyme’s gonna snatch your brain, yo
I’m still starving for the straight up shit
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap skill
get ready to rumble, now is the time, uh huh
if you ain’t know, now you know
good luck fellows!
[Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna,
in die illa tremenda. in die illa
Quando coeli movendi sunt terra,
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira.]
2nd verse dedicates to the real peeps
what we got to say is so real thing
cuz, revolution ain’t never gonna televise
kicking the mad flow, microphone phenotype
open your third eye, seeing through the overground
I’m about to hit you with the scream from the underground
whole city is covered with the cyber flavor
“G” is in your area, one of the toughtest enigma
[Dies illa, dies irae,
calamitatis et miseriae]
[dies illa dies magna]

just break the rule, then you see the truth

Why?
The song is amazingly beautiful. I never imagine a combination of rap and catholic music. The soprano's voice matched perfectly with the rap parts and at the end of the song the both sounded as if you were really feeling the power inside of you. I was very touched and impressed first time I heared. The final battle wouldn't have been the same awesome without it.
Libera me, Domine
Not just a part of the lyrics but a latin phrase with a very important meaning. The purpose of the pray wich means "Deliver me, Lord".
