  Title: The king is dead, long live the king!
  Passage: "The King is dead, long live The King!"  (French: "Le roi est mort, vive le roi!"  ; Spanish: "El rey ha muerto, ¡viva el rey!"  ; Italian: "Il re è morto, lunga vita al re!"  ; Portuguese: "O rei está morto, longa vida ao rei!" ) , or simply "long live the king!" , is a traditional proclamation made following the accession of a new monarch in various countries.

  Title: Serse
  Passage: Serse (] ; English title: "Xerxes"; HWV 40) is an opera seria in three acts by George Frideric Handel.  It was first performed in London on 15 April 1738.  The Italian libretto was adapted by an unknown hand from that by Silvio Stampiglia for an earlier opera of the same name by Giovanni Bononcini in 1694.  Stampiglia's libretto was itself based on one by Nicolò Minato that was set by Francesco Cavalli in 1654.  The opera is set in Persia (modern-day Iran) in 480 BC and is very loosely based upon Xerxes I of Persia, though there is little in either the libretto or music that is relevant to that setting.  Serse, originally sung by a soprano castrato, is now usually performed by a soprano (or mezzo-soprano) and sopranist.
  Title: Beyond the Invisible
  Passage: "Beyond the Invisible" is a 1996 song created by the musical project Enigma.  This is the first of only two singles taken from the album "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi! ".  A remake was released by Scooter in 2011.
