Aion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
semper crescis aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludomentis aciem,
Sors immanis et inanis, rotatu volubilis,
status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum dorsum nudum ferotui sceleris.
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria
est affectus et defectus semper in angaria.
Hoc in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite !!
The lyrics of "O Fortuna" by Aion are a Latin hymn to the goddess of fortune, Fortuna. The song is filled with powerful imagery depicting life's unpredictable nature and the agony and ecstasy that accompany it. It opens with the declaration that Fortuna is as changeable as the moon, forever increasing and decreasing, representing the ebb and flow of life. The lyrics go on to describe how life is detestable and can be both crushing and healing, and how power and poverty can both be fleeting, like melting ice.
The chorus speaks to the cruel and empty nature of fate, which is constantly in rotation and subject to change. It is described as a bad state, empty salvation, and something that hangs over the singer. The singer is then suddenly thrust into a game of chance in which they become a pawn in a sinister plot. The lyrics then describe how the singer feels like they are suffering from a lack of both salvation and virtue, and how they are constantly oppressed.
The final stanza is a call to action for the listeners to take heart in the hour of need, and to mourn together for the mighty fallen. The song ultimately conveys a sense of powerlessness in the face of the whims of fate, yet simultaneously unites the listener in a communal experience of catharsis.

You know, I watched this video yesterday, slept and decided to come back to tell you all my journey with this game. This game holds a VERY special part of my heart, not only that but the PVP hands down rivaled any other MMORPG on the market today (even better then WOW).
I started this game when it first released and played for several years, I actually met someone THROUGH this game, and was with them for the better portion of a decade. Not only that, but I remember those humble beginnings as stated by LazyPeon, starting as a complete newbie and not knowing a thing, and by the end of my time having literal several sets of officer armor (that you could only obtain by being top ranked in PVP) that could combat for any situation - a magic resist set, a attack/crit set, etc, etc. all grinded to the top.
Additionally, I played as an Asmodian, funny enough the developer PLAYED EYLOS and FAVORED EYLOS. Alot of people didn't know that at the time, but if you compared the skills between one class during this game's heyday and looked at each faction's classes: asmo vs. elyos, elyos's was clearly better, even if only by a small fraction.
I remember playing as an Asmodian templar, literally the SLOWEST leveling class, but I can tell you folks, patience does pay out, because I slapped at the end game. I remember taking a horde after horde of elyos out by myself; I remember one time having only 3 of my clan mates with me and being able to take out an ENTIRE ELYOS guild of 200+ with just the 3 of us. I reached the pinnacle of gameplay with templar and it showed because people feared me when they saw my name because I was so good at being able to swap from sword + shield, throwing out my abilities and then swapping to my great sword to break the enemy on the ground after I power bomb'd them (yes templar has a power bomb and it is epic) also being adept at switching armor sets based on the types of pvp I'd have as well!
I do hope some developer re-creates something like this game, because nothing has ever matched this gem ever and if you were in the pinnacle of when this game was fantastic it was glorious, I feel bad for those who missed out on that time because it was just brilliant in every sense of the word
Anyway, I could rant on and on, but that's my tell, hope you all enjoyed it :)

This game will always have a spot on my heart. I created 5 characters just to farm a level 35 blue set and go to abyss farming mobs for days. Then buy the 30 pvp set using AP then go rifting killing asmodians. Miss those old days. Elyos for life. I still remember those half second lags when an asmo is around lurking.

Asmo for life. I never once made an elyos character. Elyos was just too bright for me
