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...

I'm on it Cool

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 Smile

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

Dude. I think you misunderstood me.

Actually i understood you clearly mate, Well not that you put an . instead of an , so... Derp.

You clearly didn't. Oh and yeah that's right, not my fault the "." and "," are so close to eachother on the keyboard.

Just accept that i did.

Let's not discuss this here. Add me on steam, if you really want to talk about this. Smile http://steamcommunity.com/id/I_Like_My_URL

Better to have a story and end it, then to never realise it has begun...

He's masturbating to our suffering.

Fantastic work on getting responses from the Latin forum you guys! You're doing a great job so far. For anyone who wants to follow the discussion over there here's the URL:

RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

I think I might have gotten a word. I have absolutely no knowledge of Latin, but I'm pretty confident that the word at 0:59 is "maetratura", which, according to a dictionary, means "to grieve".

EDIT: I also found "metratura" - "to fear".

Seems to fit. Tongue

EDIT 2: Also, could it be that instead of "habilitat", which is apparently not a word, it is just "habitat"?
