I love music. I'm sure you guys do to. Even if these songs are you're cup of tea, I think they fit the story, or at least what we have for the story now, perfectly. So sit back and enjoy the music. Post songs you think would be better, or comment on these.


===============================================

Okay, here we go.


Interlude I - Dei-Gratia


I believe that this song in written Italian, but I'm not exactly sure. I haven't heard enough of the language to be sure. I know for sure that it's not latin because of a few key words. Anyway, the lyrics can be found below. 57 seconds in length.


Momento Mori


This song is a whopping 8:54 seconds long. The lyrics to this one can be found below.


===============================================


Interlude I - Dei-Gratia


Sub sole nihil novi est
Ad astra per aspera
Quaerite prime regnum dei
Ante bellum memento mori...

[English translation:]

Nothing new under the sun
to the stars through the thorns
At first seek the kingdom of the god
Remember the death before war...



===============================================


Momento Mori


Who wants to separate
The world we know, from our beliefs?
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss, from sacrifice?
Some day we may come to peace
With the world, within ourselves.
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes...
Close my eyes...
Close my eyes...


When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only who must pretend


We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined


I am the god in my own history
[ The master of the game ]
I may believe if she would come to me
[ And whisper out my name ]
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
[ If life has ever been ]
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
[ Can cut me free from sin ]


When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer, retrieves your mind.
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air.
When the winter blows
You're glad you remember, you really tried.


And it comes to an end
Even winter... life fall
And we all have our beliefs.
Pray for mercy for all.


I am a man without a mystery
[ The deal is done within. ]
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
[ And pay for every sin. ]


[Helena]

VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI


[Mephisto]

UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI


[Ariel]

So subservant, in your embrace.
No more denial,
No run away.
This is the final,
My last recall.
And that's the price,for what we learn,
The more we know,the more we yearn,
Cause we're so alone.


I am a man without a mystery.
[ The deal is done within ]
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
[ The journey can begin ]
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
[ And whisper out my name ]


Some day we may come to peace
And reach beyond, behind the lies.
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes,
Close my eyes....
Close my eyes....


[ Helena ]

Ariel...Ariel...Ariel...Ariel...

Well, I suggested that the first be used in the beginning, like a little chant that the sorcerer/sorceress chants while taking control of the elements and reaching the elements, to give the impression that they know what's about to happen and set the tone of the RP.


The second is the song itself. Even those those are tracks 5 and 12 from the album they come from, based on sound and content, I think they should have made a two part song like many of their other tracks.


=============================================


Now, about the song itself. It comes from an album called The Black Halo, which is the second of two albums - the first being Epica - based on the story of Faust. Ariel ( a male ), Helena, and Mephisto are all all characters from the story.


And unfortunately, I know not what language for sure it used in the songs. I almost 100% positive that it's Italian. I certainly doesn't sound like French, and I know it's not Latin. I don't know any Italian, and I distrust online translators. I don't know exactly what Mephisto and Helena are saying in Momento Mori. Sorry guys. sweatdrop

Oh well. It's not like it's a super big deal. Anyway, this RP is gonna be great, whether it has a song or not!
