amethyst_konekoI was listening to the third Brotherhood OST and got this song, Lapis Philosophorum (chant), stuck in my head. It hasn't left me alone all day so I'm posting it here in the hope that maybe it will decide to go live with someone else for a while! ^_^
Lyrics by wd0 on YouTube:
Lapis philosophorum lapis ruber lapis quantus
sacrificum vis caputo felicitas
Debes sapio debes ibi multa miseria tua retro
calamitatis habes saputo felicitas
Ubi es inpedis terra e tem pus anteactus
sapies eo quam erant cadeveris infinitatis.
Debes sapio debes ibi multa miseri tua retro
calamitatis habes saputo felicitas
Ubi es inpedis terra e tem pus anteactus
sapies eo quam erant cadeveris infinitatis.
Specta mortuus specta si denuo desiderium
sapies habebis tueri sanguinem brachi pedis rubus,
Lapis philosophorum lapis ruber affecto quam res...?
Translation into a poem:
Stone of philosophers, ruby red stone, which caused so much sacrifice and misery unknown.
Deceptively though, the stone did appeal and made foolish men think it's happiness real.
O wise philosopher you must grieve no more if you wish to revive the mirth of before.
You must face your past, for you cannot atone for the damage you wrought with the wretched red stone.
Where is the land? That land from the past, which many before you sought and amassed?
Take heed of their folly, and don't be deceived by the trap which left many despaired and bereaved.
Though for happiness, power and ease they did strive, instead they found death and now none are alive.
Consider these perished; this warning adhere. Will you continue to seek out this stone you held dear?
You who beheld it's baneful hue red when the blood of your own arm and own leg was shed?
Stone of philosophers, ruby red stone. When will you cease and leave mankind alone?
