tulinte I quettar
tercano nuruva

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...
The lyrics to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Crouch End Festival Chorus's song The Prophecy carry a sense of mysticism and dark foreboding. The opening lines, "Yénillor morne tulinte I quettar tercano nuruva," speak of the arrival of new worlds from the black years, and the coming of the Herald of Death. The subsequent lines, "Hlasta Qyetes Hfirimain," seem to be a call to listen closely, to attune oneself to the voice of the seer who speaks of what is to come. The repeated refrain of "The Ringspell..." brings a sense of urgency, a warning that something significant and unstoppable is approaching.
These lyrics are suggestive of an impending apocalyptic event, or perhaps the arrival of a great adversary. The prophecy is delivered as a warning to those who were not born to die, implying that something cataclysmic is forthcoming. The enigmatic nature of the words leaves room for interpretation, but their overall tone sets a scene of impending doom and an uncertain future.
