Circle of Life... [EDIT] Bigger than thought before

Unread post by MasterChief2829 »

Remember THIS. With all this talk about circles (SOTA) it may have some sort of relevance. (edit: holy crap that is freaky, it matches perfectly. When MC steps in the sun the singer talks about stepping into the sun, cortana seems to sing along and stop at the same line, etc.)

Lyrics: http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/classicd ... oflife.htm
([MS: Male Singer]
[BS: Background Singer])

[MS:] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [There comes a lion] (As we see Master Chief coming)
[BS:] Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion] (Confirmation it's the Chief)
[MS:] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [There comes a lion] (yeah..)
[BS:] Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion] (repeat)
Ingonyama
[MS:] Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
[BS:] Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabaal [It's a lion and a tiger] (Cortana shows up! MC being the lion, Cortana the tiger.)
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

OMG! New discovery! You know how we see MC coming... well look at these translations.

Oh and from tiger wikipedia >
An endangered species, the majority of the world's tigers now live in captivity.

That. Is. Freaky.

Probably a coincidence, though.

no way is that a coinsidence. it's too awesome.

but... what is the significance? its not like we're going to find some hidden audio clue in the song, or that the song will point out something we haven't seen from the trailer.

There's a lot more Cortana in that vid than there is in the original announcement trailer, so I think we can disregard any "coincidences" of timing. The video has been edited to more closely follow the song.

It's fun to read those lyrics in the context of Halo, though. "More to find than can ever be found," etc.

Well the lion and the tiger references, somehow we need to find out how Cortana is referred to as a tiger and why MC is a lion. (I already got something in the wikipedia quote I posted for Cortana/Tiger)

We know that in Halo 3 there is "More to be seen" "More to do than that could ever be done" and "More to be found, than that could ever be found" (In a video game/Halo game)

Also, the Ark is something you can go to through despair and hope, faith and love. I dunno :p

[edit] Nope it hasn't, because the original announcement trailer was 2:23, just like this one. I even compared them side by side. No edits.

Yeah, I know it was just put up, but what are the chances that someone finds the comic and then decides to put the trailer to the song, and it match up perfectly? Coincidence? Definately not.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's been exactly a month since the posting of that video. :|
