The Prophecy
New World Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tulinte I quettar
tercano nuruva
Hlasta Qyetes
Hfirimain
The Ringspell...
The Seer Speaks...
Out of the Black Years
come the worlds
the Herald of Death
Listen -- it speaks to
those who were not born to die
The Ringspell...
In the lyrics of New World Orchestra's song, "The Prophecy," the first three lines are in the fictional language of J.R.R. Tolkien's created world of Middle-earth. It tells of the arrival of a herald of death, who brings with it a dark and ominous future. The language is beautifully crafted and adds an ethereal quality to the song, lending it a sense of mystery and otherworldliness.
The latter two lines in the song advise to listen and heed its advice if you weren't born to die. This could imply that those who are not meant to meet their end in the near future should take heed of what is being said to them. It could urge one to change their ways or act preemptively against some ominous event. The song purposefully leaves this ambiguous, as the audience is left to interpret it in their own way.
Overall, this song creates an eerie atmosphere and delivers a powerful message through its unique blend of language and music. It makes the listener narrate a tale of doom and gloom, and it's impossible not to feel moved by the incredible work of the New World Orchestra.
