"OF WINGS (performed by The Seraphim with all remaining cast, including 'Hoops [sic] Dei' and 'The X + I'): Shiny and Ruby's ship stands once more at the perihelion of the Sun, as he has made the decision to rescue June with the same vigor as she had once done for him." (ATUM story notes)
(note: the perihelion is the nearest point in an object's orbit around its star- "crossing" this point at any angle other than head-on into the star would simply alter the object's orbit, so its usage here is incorrect. Most likely he was going for the analog of a black hole's event horizon- the distance beyond which nothing, including light, can escape- but for regular stars there is no such boundary, as any "point of no return" would depend on the orbiting object's mass and propulsion capability)

The pronunciation of "Clementine" alternates between "-teen" (odd lines) and "-tyne" (even lines, to rhyme with "shine") in the last stanza.
Agnus Dei is Latin for "Lamb of God" and is a common prayer used in Catholic mass, as well as in musical masses and Requiems (masses for the dead, e.g. Mozart's).
