Divinitus - Rome Total War Original Soundtrack - Angela and Jeff van Dyck

The Rome Total War Original Soundtrack was composed by Jeff van Dyck in 2003-2004. It features vocals by Angela van Dyck, and bouzouki and mandolin by Saki Kaskas. Angela wrote the lyrics and melody on this track. When we created this song, we had no idea how popular it was going to become. If we had known, we probably would have consulted with someone who knew Latin, and we would have endeavored to make the pronunciation more accurate. Alas, this was not the case. I still think Angela’s voice and words are beautiful, and our intent was genuine. Divinitus by Angela and Jeff van Dyck: hellatorius victorialis (warlike; victory) erastus necessitas (lovers; death) honararius despondeo (honour; despair) spiritus obdormio (life; death) patriota gladiator (country; warrior) afflictio ommento (pain; waiting) divinitus salutaris (heaven; salvation) furtivus libertas (furtive love; freedom)
