YEAH AREN'T THE LYRICS SO FUCKING GOOD???? The way that they planned this out to have the first two songs blend together in the last tier... goddamn!!! And the lyrics so perfectly fit Athena which works so good because we were seeing her through the previous bosses.
Narratively I'm not a hundo on what's going on over there. (Why LIONS? There are no lions in the combination Castlevania-Spirit Halloween.)
This is a reference to medieval mapmakers who would often write "Hic Svnt Leones" or "here be lions" to denote an area unknown and probably dangerous. For whatever reason the phrase that became more popular in pop culture was "here be dragons" but AFAIK that was only on one globe.
Because dragons are way cooler than lions, of course [citation needed]
THANKS THOUGH I did not know that, and armed with the knowledge I am a hundred percent less confused!
Some transcriptions of the lyrics instead have the one line in TTO as "So scream all you like, your god can hear you" which I'm personally partial to because. yeah. checks out!!!
I feel like any possible version is good because your god being deaf to your screams is one thing... your god hearing and not caring? MAN. And both fit, but that one definitely fits Athena's shit even moreso imo!
i keep coming back to this post after doing my weekly drops, what a fucking tune and thank you for bringing these ideas and lyrics together ๐ค
