Orchard of Mines Lyrics
Don't taint this ground with the color of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
'Cause you seem like an orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time
And you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside, you climb these grapevines
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...
I'll say it to be proud; won't have my life turn upside down
Says the man with some, with some gold forged plan
Of life so incomplete, like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful one step at a time
And you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside, you climb these grapevines
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you denote...
La flama riposa
La ombra dispare
La noce immortale
La voce murmure
To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote...
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Denote...

Actually, that whole Italian/Latin/Whatever it is section is from "Serenata Immortale" by Immediate Music. Whether or not permission was given, I have no idea. Either way, I like the song.
Jess - just FYI, Immediate Music = Globus. They're the same company and personages, they just market the trailer music side under IM and the Globus albums as, well, Globus.

I didn't know that. Thanks :)

@Jess99960 Globus is Owned by Immediate Music, and "Serenata Immortale" is actually a remix of "Serenata" and "Orchard of Mines".

@Jess99960 "Whether or not permission was given..." What is that suppose to mean? You don't need permission to write lyrics to a song you've already written. Not only the Latin parts are part of Serenata Immortale. It's the whole song. All of it. Immediate just added lyrics and performed it. That's what Globus band is all about. Each and every song of the band is either a song or mash up of trailer songs they did before but like and so on. Globus is courtesy of Immediate Records and consists of the same musicians and producers (apart from guests like...

@Георг This is Jess99960. The comment was so long ago that I've forgotten my login details for old account. Why reply to a 2 year old comment? Anyway, as I stated earlier when someone else pointed it out, I wasn't aware they were the same company/personages. :)

First of all, thank you to whoever posted the lyrics, because you actually posted the correct Latin in the interlude. So many places have 'riposa' as 'niposa,' which , so far as I can tell, isn't a word. Anyways...
So far as I can tell there are 2 possible explanations that you can take with these lyrics. If you follow the music video that Globus recently released, that'd be the first one. However, if you can follow themes in the Epicon CD and realize there are slight religious undertones, that'd be the 2nd. The first is probably the one most people care about, so I'll worry about the other one only if people really want it.
So far as I can tell, this song is about a relationship that is on it's edge. It can go either way, and right away the song starts off with an argument. Someone has brought up a past failure of the other partner, and that person obviously isn't listening to what the other is saying. Anything that is said happens to be wrong, and awkwardness occurs.
The second verse is obviously about the singer, and how he's attempting to deal with the situational issues by ending it. However, even as he claims to have a plan that won't break him, he realizes his own weakness, and can't find the heart to leave.
The final section is basically the singer attempting to get the point across that he really does care, despite everything that his other half is saying. (be it m or f) I don't exactly know, but I think I also can semi-translate the Latin.
From what I can tell it is "The wind dies, ____, the immortal night, the voice screams." No clue about the 2nd line, but if anyone is a Latin major/minor, help me out here.
The latin part means aparently means:

I have taken Latin for about four years now, and I am almost positive that it is not Latin, but definitely a romance language. It doesn't quite follow the grammar, or pronunciations for Latin, and the presence of "la" makes the idea of it being Latin even more shaky. (For example, if Voce, or voice, was singular and a subject in latin, it would be Vox. The e would only be present if it were in the ablative case, which is usually for objects of preposition except for in special cases)
If it were Italian, Noce would be Notte, I believe. However, I've seen incorrect lyrics on the site before, and it can be hard to tell with choir chants. Flamma is Italian for flame, and Ombra is Italian for shadow. So...
La flama riposa La ombra dispare La noce immortale La voce murmure
I want to think its translates to...
The resting flame The disappearing shadow The unending night The whispering voice.
Might not be totally correct, but I am fairly certain. Hope this was a help!
It is Italian indeed! :) But "noce" doesn't mean "night" - "noce" is the Italian word for "walnut", "nut". It does make sense in this context of orchard, climbing trees, etc.

I've also taken Latin for a few years now and I agree with Tulnekaya. This is definitely not Latin although no Romance language I know really fits. The closest we will probably get is Italian, as Tulnekaya already said. I guess that this translation
The resting flame The disappearing shadow The unending night The whispering voice.
is quite accurate. Or at least I like to think that it makes sense.
This song really spoke to me about 10 years ago when I was in a relationship with a clingy girlfriend who was borderline manipulative in her overreactions to innocuous statements or gestures I'd make. Basically if I said something and it could be interpreted to mean something negative, then that's how she would interpret it and a fight would break out about my intentions.
Until this song, I would say I was walking on eggshells, but stepping through an orchard of mines is also an appropriate metaphor. She always played the victim ("so fragile on the inside")
Advancing in the relationship was difficult ("like weights strapped upon my feet")
The protagonist of the song comes to the realization that the fights are not worth it if it is truly malicious manipulation ("I see you play the game") and refuses to play anymore ("won't have my life turned upside down").
As far as I'm concerned it is a breakup song. And it inspired me to do just that. And now I'm married to a fantastic wife and I'm as happy as a clam.
