    RTW lyrics

    "Divinitus"
    by Angela van Dyck

    hellatorius victorialis (warlike; victory)
    erastus necessitas (lovers; death)
    honararius despondeo (honour; despair)
    spiritus obdormio (life; death)
    patriota gladiator (country; fighter)
    afflictio ommento (pain; waiting)
    divinitus salutaris (heaven; salvation)
    furtivus libertas (furtive love; freedom)


    I just noticed that you now are able to play some of the sound tracks there (EDIT: just the beginnings )

    Seems like a bunch of random words put together to me.

    Yup.

    But all with a common theme. Looks as if the composer got a latin dictionary+thesaurus and looked up every word that has a connection to war

    I've checked my latin dictionary, and almost all of the words seem to be made up or wrong. The correct latin words to the English translations are:

    ferox, victoria (warlike; victory)
    amantis, mors (lovers; death)
    honor, desperatio (honour; despair)
    vita, interitus (life; death)
    patria, pugnator (country; fighter)
    dolor, manerens (pain; waiting)
    caelum (divinitus means 'from heaven'), salus (heaven; salvation)
    furtivus (meaning 'furtive'), libertas (furtive love; freedom)

    There may be a few inaccuracies in my translations, but that's life.

    Add this to the list you've been playing RTW to long.
    You can sing the lyrics without the music, and know what they mean.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
