about this song
The song's title and all of its lyrics are Latin. "Agnus Dei" is a movement from a mass (older composers write many of these) and literally means: (Agnus Dei) Lamb of God (qui tollis peccata mundi) who takes away the sins of the world (dona nobis pachem) grant us peace. In this song, Wainwright is asking for clemency from people who attack him and his music. This is essentially a classical song. It is a setting of the text of one movement from a mass done by Wainwright.
