A Spartans Prayer

A video editted together and inspired by Tia Chi Knees' Deus Meus-UNSC Battle Prayer.

As per Elnea:

"I wrote "Deus Meus: The Spartan Battle Prayer" in the winter of 2005 after seeing photographs of Allied soldiers praying together before going into combat in World War II. It occurred to me that surely in the Halo universe there would be UNSC troops that would do the same.




The lyrics are based on Psalm 143(144): "...benedictus Dominus Deus meus qui docet manus meas ad proelium digitos meos ad bellum - Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight..." (King James Translation)

I never released the music as I'd promised it to the SSPH and SVF production crews for two related pivotal scenes in SSPH 0.4 and SvF 11, which alas have not come to fruition. The producers have given me leave to release this piece now in honor of Memorial Day, which is commemorated on May 28, 2007 this year in the United States. -Linnea"

beautiful song--sang a similar song in my choir that this song reminds me of, lamb of God or "Agnus Dei" singing in latin is so beautiful the tone is much purer due to the truer vowel sounds...

also loved the halo footage
