Do the lyrics - oh how they shift left to right and fade in and out - to the main them make any sense, are they coherent and can Magister Cultuum link them back to Kael's hint dropping?

Does anyone have the lyrics... All I can here is something about the end being far away, mankind is asleep, and in Auric Ulvin's cut (near the end of the regular) "I remember..."

If I recall, Firaxis actually did the Age of Ice theme. Or, rather, they hired a professional to write and record it.

I've been wondering about the lyrics too, and the artist Jillian Goldin provides the lyrics on her site. It was actually someone named kizyr from CFC who asked on her forum. I know this reply is slightly late, but better late than never in this case;).

This is the full set of lyrics:

Bright fire,
I remember, cold winds.
I remember.

Forever the wind will blow.
Forever the bell will toll.

Dreams of dreams are distant.
Mankind is asleep; the end is far away.
[Interlude]
The end is far away; mankind is asleep. "

Neat, the way the lyrics 'worked out' actually works better as Auric's Age of Rebirth theme, as Mulcarn murmours grudingly to Bhall of his past accomplishments...

The Artist stated that she was a little unsatisfied with the track for the mod, maybe the mods creator should speak to her about remedying that and doing a little charitable work. :lol:
