The music in the game - jiersk - 09-17-2013

The music in the game was truly awesome, some of the best music I've ever heard in a game ( good work Jessica Curry ).

But most of the sung parts are not really understandable for me. I do believe it's mostly Latin, as in Mors Preamatura.

So do you guys know the lyrics to the songs?

I am sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it here on the forums.

Hi, you can find the lyrics from mors praematura on jessicas bandcamp site:
http://jessicacurry.bandcamp.com/album/amnesia-a-machine-for-pigs





Mors praematura
One who dies before his time

Plagam mortiferam infligere
Violent murder

Abiit ad patres
He has gone to the fathers

Mens rea
Guilty mind

Mundus vult decipi
The world wants to be deceived

Momento mori
Remember you must die

The music is grandious. Jessica did a nice job like Mikko.

In the control rod level there's a sensational Kyrie
Spoiler below!
as you descend the elevator after having pulled the levers. It's called 'Christ Have Mercy' in the sound track, which is a translation of the Greek.

Kyrie eleison
Lord have mercy
Christe eleison
Christ have mercy

Has anyone tried deciphering Dieses Herz, which is the distorted opera track you hear in the Pig Nest?

Its lyrics are encountered in a note in the first level of the game, and therefore easily found in the LANG files:

Spoiler below!
Schlaf mein Kind, schlaf
Dein Herz schlägt unter meiner Hand
Und ich wiege Dich
in diesen offenen Wunden mein
Dieses Herz

Sanft weiter durch mich
Und Dein Herz gehört mir
Und ich wiege Dich
in dieser verdenden Liebe
Dieses Herz

Träum diese heilige Wunde
wird bluten
und die Engel trauern
nur um Dich schlafen zu sehen
Mein Kind, schlaf und ich
werde Dich wiegen.

A quick n dirty Google Translate spits it out as:

Spoiler below!
Sleep my child, sleep,
Your heart beats under my hand
And I weigh yourself
in these open wounds my
this heart

Gently on through me
And your heart belongs to me
And I weigh yourself
in this verde giving love
this heart

Dream this sacred wound
will bleed
and the angels grieve
just to see you sleep
My child sleep, and I
will weigh you.

But I'm sure a native German speaker among us (Googolplex?) could give us a more accurate translation.

I found this translation in the FLAC file's properties (from the soundtrack).

Spoiler below!
Sleep, my children, sleep
Schlaf mein Kind, schlaf

Your heart
Beats upon my palm
Dein Herz schlägt unter meiner Hand

And I cradle you
Und ich wiege Dich

Under these open wounds of mine
in diesen offenen Wunden mein

this heart
Dieses Herz

Softly, on
Through me
Sanft weiter
durch mich

And your heart is mine
Und Dein Herz gehört mir

And I cradle you
Und ich wiege Dich
Under this darkening love
in dieser finster werdenden Liebe

This heart
Dieses Herz

Dream this holy wound
Träum diese heilige Wunde

Will bleed
wird bluten

And the angels grieve
und die Engel trauern

Just to see you sleep
nur um Dich schlafen zu sehen

My children, sleep and I
Mein Kind, schlaf und ich

Will cradle you
werde Dich wiegen.
