Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[Ashtoreth]

See my previous post about "memento mori." (http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thr...#pid237809 ) Pretty safe to say it's part of the lyrics.

Sorry that I missed your post! Interesting analysis and I most definitely agree with you. Only a small correction: mundus is in fact a Latin word. I think that she does sing Mundus in the beginning of the fourth line...

Someone with a thick enough skin to risk massive flaming from the Latin-speaking elite should post a request for a translation here:

I'm on it

Excellent idea Paddy, and thanks Zgroktar for having the guts ^_^

You know, a few days ago I was listening to Rosa Crvx (a French musical ensemble whose lyrics are mostly written in Latin) and I thought "hmm, maybe I could send them a message asking for help on the translation...". But I quickly quit the idea, seemed rather silly to do it... Lol

Anyway, after repeated listens, I'm pretty confident that the second line is:

Plagam mortiferam infligere (To inflict a mortal wound)

instead of Cladem mortiferam infligere

If you listen carefully, she pronounces the end of the first word as -am instead of -em. Also, "to inflict a mortal wound" seems to make perfect sense in the context of the song's theme.

Please let me know if you folks agree

I'll probably join the Latin Discussion Forum as well and post this update there.
