Civilization V: Brave New World Notes
The Brave World Theme lyrics are taken from Revelations 21. I have included both the English and latin translations below. See score for how Pete Murray set these beautiful words to the music.
Apocalypsis 21
Biblia Sacra Vulgata (VULGATE)
21 et vidi caelum novum et terram novam primum enim caelum et prima terra abiit et mare iam non est
2 et civitatem sanctam Hierusalem novam vidi descendentem de caelo a Deo paratam sicut sponsam ornatam viro suo
3 et audivi vocem magnam de throno dicentem ecce tabernaculum Dei cum hominibus et habitabit cum eis et ipsi populus eius erunt et ipse Deus cum eis erit eorum Deus
4 et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam ab oculis eorum et mors ultra non erit neque luctus neque clamor neque dolor erit ultra quae prima abierunt
5 et dixit qui sedebat in throno ecce nova facio omnia et dicit scribe quia haec verba fidelissima sunt et vera
6 et dixit mihi factum est ego sum Alpha et Omega initium et finis ego sitienti dabo de fonte aquae vivae gratis
7 qui vicerit possidebit haec et ero illi Deus et ille erit mihi filius
8 timidis autem et incredulis et execratis et homicidis et fornicatoribus et veneficis et idolatris et omnibus mendacibus pars illorum erit in stagno ardenti igne et sulphure quod est mors secunda
9 et venit unus de septem angelis habentibus fialas plenas septem plagis novissimis et locutus est mecum dicens veni ostendam tibi sponsam uxorem agni
10 et sustulit me in spiritu in montem magnum et altum et ostendit mihi civitatem sanctam Hierusalem descendentem de caelo a Deo
11 habentem claritatem Dei lumen eius simile lapidi pretioso tamquam lapidi iaspidis sicut cristallum
12 et habebat murum magnum et altum habens portas duodecim et in portis angelos duodecim et nomina inscripta quae sunt nomina duodecim tribuum filiorum Israhel
13 ab oriente portae tres et ab aquilone portae tres et ab austro portae tres et ab occasu portae tres
14 et murus civitatis habens fundamenta duodecim et in ipsis duodecim nomina duodecim apostolorum agni
15 et qui loquebatur mecum habebat mensuram harundinem auream ut metiretur civitatem et portas eius et murum
16 et civitas in quadro posita est et longitudo eius tanta est quanta et latitudo et mensus est civitatem de harundine per stadia duodecim milia longitudo et latitudo et altitudo eius aequalia sunt
17 et mensus est murus eius centum quadraginta quattuor cubitorum mensura hominis quae est angeli
18 et erat structura muri eius ex lapide iaspide ipsa vero civitas auro mundo simile vitro mundo
19 fundamenta muri civitatis omni lapide pretioso ornata fundamentum primum iaspis secundus sapphyrus tertius carcedonius quartus zmaragdus
20 quintus sardonix sextus sardinus septimus chrysolitus octavus berillus nonus topazius decimus chrysoprassus undecimus hyacinthus duodecimus amethistus
21 et duodecim portae duodecim margaritae sunt per singulas et singulae portae erant ex singulis margaritis et platea civitatis aurum mundum tamquam vitrum perlucidum
22 et templum non vidi in ea Dominus enim Deus omnipotens templum illius est et agnus
23 et civitas non eget sole neque luna ut luceant in ea nam claritas Dei inluminavit eam et lucerna eius est agnus
24 et ambulabunt gentes per lumen eius et reges terrae adferent gloriam suam et honorem in illam
25 et portae eius non cludentur per diem nox enim non erit illic
26 et adferent gloriam et honorem gentium in illam
27 nec intrabit in ea aliquid coinquinatum et faciens abominationem et mendacium nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitae agni
Revelation 21
21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea.
2 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”
5 And He that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said unto me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said unto me, “It is done! I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, “Come hither; I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God. And her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
12 It had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof and the walls thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as great as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs; the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof: a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the wall was built of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each separate gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were, transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God gave it light, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them that are saved shall walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there,
26 and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but only they that are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Enrico Dandolo Leader Theme is based on the “Rotta O Sonata” by Cesare Bendinelli. Cesare Bendinelli was a composer and the principal trumpet player of the Viennese court from 1567 to 1580.
The Shaka Leader Theme is based on the Zulu melody “Inhliziyo Yami” The lyrics are in Zulu and based on the following praise song.
He is Shaka the unshakeable,Thunderer-while-sitting, son of Menzi.He is the bird that preys on other birds,The battle-axe that excels over other battle-axes.He is the long-strided pursuer, son of Ndaba,Who pursued the sun and the moon.He is the great hubbub like the rocks of NkandlaWhere elephants take shelterWhen the heavens frown…
The Ahmed-Al-Mansur Theme is based on a traditional Moraccan song called “Mawal Gnawi”
The Maria I Theme is based on the song “Saudades de Coimbra” by Carlos Paredes for the film Verdes anos .
