Prophecy - The music

[Komit]

I'm wondering, I'm not an english speaking guy so sometime I have a hard-time understanding what the signers say in some of the songs of the album. For an example I was thinking about "prophecy" by Cobalt 60. Does anyone know where to find the lyrics of this song ?

 

[LeHah]

I went a'looking for the lyrics (I knew them at one time) but couldn't find them anywhere. All I can remember is the lyric "I wish I hadn't been chosen as the weakness of the curse of my universe"

PROPHECY
The images were clear
I know what I’ve been taught
it’s almost here
I have no doubt
I wish I hadn’t been the channel
the [bringer] of omens
I wish I hadn’t been chosen
as the [witness of the ghosts of my enemies]
Of the world I knew there was nothing left
in the flow of time [grew] a giant theft
it was very clear
and it’s almost here
Here [comes the] time to harvest what we seeded
and to confront the monster’s [revenge]
my past is overwhelmed, my words be [heathen]
what I have to say, I said
Prophecy, prophecy
You have to tell them what you saw
you have to tell them what you saw
and what they make of that, is what [belongs] to you
and what they make of that, is what [belongs] to you
You have to tell them what you saw
you have to tell them what you saw
Here [comes the] time to harvest what we seeded
and to confront the monster’s [revenge]
my past is overwhelmed, my words be [heathen]
what I have to say, I said
Prophecy, prophecy

...and to confront the monster’s [revenge]...

I take it you wrote this as you heard it, cff? I hear "confront the monsters we've fed", but anyway, it's all garbled to me. :/

Nope. I took it from the web. But I think that person wrote it down as he heard it, jup. There doesn't seem to be anything close to an official webpage or lyrics page for Cobalt 60

I think 'theft' is 'cleft'.

 

[Edfilho]

Very gloomy lyrics indeed. Quite well fitting in the general mood of the storyline. A job well done. And it's interesting how this soundtrack is completelly different from those in WC1-4.

Ditto on the "we've fed" line.

That's what they were aiming for. But they still used orchestral music for most of the game - those were available on the radio option. Only on WCSO did they use the cobalt musico n the game itself.

I think it's "confront the monsters we fight" or something into that direction.
