Opus Dei is the third studio album by the Slovenian and Yugoslav avant-garde music group Laibach, released on 23 March 1987 by Mute Records. It features "Geburt einer Nation", a German language cover version of Queen's "One Vision", and two reworkings of "Live Is Life" by the Austrian pop rock band Opus'. The Opus song became the German language "Leben heißt Leben" and the English language "Opus Dei". "The Great Seal" is the national anthem of the NSK State, the lyrics taken from Winston Churchill's 1940 "We shall fight on the beaches" speech. A new arrangement of the song appears on Laibach's seventh studio album Volk (2006), with the title "NSK". On Volk, the song is credited to Laibach and Slavko Avsenik Jr.
