Post subject:	End game discussion! spoilers!
Edit: never mind my previous questions!!!!!!! So I finally finished the game, I've tested out each and every ending just to listen to the different poems. I was wondering if anyone has any personal interpretations of what the poems mean? What kind of world is created through the ascension of a chosen sister/yourself? Throdax's youtube channel has each of the endings there, in-case anyone wants to listen: http://www.youtube.com/user/Throdax It sucks that there is no transcription for the poems, it would be easier to analyze instead of listening to the audio over and over again If there's enough interest, perhaps I can transcribe each poem? Anyways, good job Ice-Pick! Thank you for the experience!

I've decided to transcribe the poems. I'll do a few of them everyday and post them up! Thanks again to Throdax's youtube page for the audio files Ole's Poem: Who saw the dreams and knew the names Who heard the grasses talking to each other Who learned the will of their ancient father and listened to the songs of tidal waves The ones whose souls have been purified The ones harnessed to the pain of challenge Who lit the mystic candles on the fringe Who became a pure shade of darkest nights Who didn't squeeze their grape to sinful glass and didn't seek the joys of earthly leisure Not in the priestess's dance Nor in the pleasure But who descended into Hell's morass To meet their shadow at the very bottom They don't expect hearts with love to blossom (My favorite sister) Una's Poem: They're not alive, but neither are they dead They're deaf to words, and their touch is senseless They're blunt to smell and their pain is endless Their doom, unaltered by any event, is sealed in darkness But light giver Phoebus bestows the blind With overwhelming awe in sight of God And the concealed cave is turned to Christmas den By holy vortex, the primal night who bore him in her womb The offspring, sent to her by miser father Is carrying her gifts to fateful brother The one by solar rage who was entombed Who has become the toy of fateless play Who is alive, yet destined to be fey

Yani's: "Those, to earth, who are forever hurled Cannot enjoy the vastness of the fields As time's each passing moment yields The dancing shadows of other worlds <...> And to him, even death does simply nod Him who saw the dreams and knew the names" Makes me recall that Yani has talked with dead sisters (Ino and Ani) in her dreams and, in fact, been the closest to the border between worlds along with Ole. Ima's: "Who yearned to be but failed to become" She was willing to sacrifice herself for "the dragon" she mentioned constantly, but later found out that it was illusional. "The duty is failed, the promises are broken The path unwalked And our doom is nigh" The despair she personifies. Self-ascension: "Above the rippling surface waves Has grown a solemn, rocky island built of bricks With chasms black and floods of crimson rocks And boundaries woeful of the land unknown I see the dreams so marvellously sad The creeks of land so solid and encrusted Where wave and tide upon shores are busted While singing by the mournful twilight's bed And canvas in the dark plies a quiet course Trembling with an ancient mystic force The force of wind and raspy, breathless ripple In ways of constant dare and righteous struggle My boat is led along by sheering tumult And skies are lit with starry, shining sparkle" It could refer to the Void itself, how we brought life to it and went through it at last.
