Song of Skaia

From the album of the same title. You can download it at http://homestuck.bandcamp.com

Lyrics:

In vento cogitatio, spirat in vento
E vacuo lux elucet, lux e vacuo
E somno somnia cre'ta, somnia e somno
In clara umbra creatum versat

In vento spiritus flat, spiritus in vento
In fusco lumen ignescit, lumen in fusco
E somnis verita nata est verita nata
E nihil omnia cre'ta sunt omnia creata

Pel Amar vinya-onant
Feä raniel vilyadessë sira

Lindelë sama calad
Oloriello illuvë onant
Ëa

Here is the translation. The first two stanzas are in Latin and the last in Elvish apparently. (I've heard that it's Quenya and Sindarin from different places. I know fuck-all about LOTR, but am curious about this, so if you know I would be appreciative if you would leave a comment.) Anyway, here's the translation:

Thought blows in the wind, in the wind
Light shines from the void, light from the void
Dreams awaken out of sleep, dreams out of sleep
Creation twirls in a bright shadow

Spirit flows in the wind, spirit in the wind
Light burns in darkness, light in darkness
Truth is born out of dreams; truth is born
All is created out of nothing; all is created

Around the new-born world
Wandering spirit flows in the wind

Music joins light
All is born from a dream
Let it be

On their Bandcamp page, beside the track name Song of Skaia is a button to show the official lyrics + translation.

@Machmatic Thank you for mentioning this! I don't remember the translation being there when I posted this video but I very well could have missed it.

Hi, I love Homestuck again.

I don't know if it's the fact that there is Latin AND Elvish (omg omg i'm a lotr fan okay...) in this song, or the fact that every time I listen to it I get chills and goosebumps, but....

I would be extremely frustrated if this is not in one of the Homestuck flashes in some way.

[AsnRandomness]

This is brilliant. The best flash scene for this, I reckon, is when Becnoir is finally defeated, and Skaians reunite under harmony, Prospit and Derse no longer enemies, but twins sharing the same journey. Then the God Tier kids disappear in balls of light, returning to their Universe, waking on their beds as if nothing had happened and it was all a dream, but am wearing necklaces which display their God Tier symbols.

beautiful

[Goatmon]

@SpottedleafCCRVMK Sadly, there is a very good chance of that never happening. There's just so many albums that the seriously vast majority of the music doesn't really get any use.

[MsFicticious]

I don't know if the creator of Homestuck ever expected it to become as big of a project as it is, but I'm just impressed with how big it's gotten. Whether you like the comic or not, it is pretty impressive. And this song! It's gorgeous!

listening to this while on a elve murdering spree on skyrim= LOL

[BlindMediaAMV]

Gog I can't get enough of this song for some reason. It's just so gorgeous, and the lyrics are beyond beautiful. There's just a certain beauty about Latin and elvish, especially when they're sung <3

[bookworm999999]

Love the song and cant wait to see how (if he does) hussie uses this song in homestuck ÒuÓ

[shadowd151]

No one seems to notice its similarity to a certain last song on volume 1... either that or they just thought it would be dumb to post a comment on that obvious fact.
