Sopor Aeternus, which means eternal sleep, is the apt name of a German dark wave musical project. Saltatio Mortis, which means dance of death, is a German medieval metal band.
sopor, soporis (m) sleep; apathy
aeternus adj. eternal; immortal
saltatio, -onis (f) dance
mors, mortis (f) death; corpse.
English words from mors, mortis and from aeternus are not hard to find. The adjective soporific comes, of course, from sopor, soporis.
