Cover art for Et Ducit Mundum Per Luce lyrics by Angels and Airwaves

I'm studying latin, and actually that translation is not necessarily true. Et means "And" Ducit is the third-person form of the verb ducere which means to lead, so it could also be she leads or it leads. Mundum is accusative form of mundus, which means either, universe/heavens/world or mankind, depending on context. Per means by or through. Luce means light, but since the sentence implies that something is lead by/through it, it should be in the accusative form, i.e. lucem.

So it could basically mean: And he/she leads the universe/heavens/world/mankind by/through light. As I see it it is free to personal interpretation, since it's hard to tell what is implied. I might be wrong though, I've only studied latin for some months now : /

Nonetheless, epic intro to an epic album!
