‘Elden Ring music lyrics are computer generated gibberish’

The lyrics from Elden Ring’s music appear to mean nothing, claims a Latin student. The soundtrack’s producers are said to have confirmed that the lyrics are actually gibberish and were computer generated to sound dramatic and compelling.

Many of the lyrics in Elden Ring are made to resemble Latin, but according to a classical student, the words usually don’t mean anything at all. Reddit user Magister Organi started with the song Song of Lament, which was indeed written in Latin, so writes Eurogamer† This turned out to be the only song from the Elden Ring soundtrack to be written by a specific lyricist.

He contacted producers of other songs for further translations, after which he was informed that the team behind Elden Ring, among other things, used computer-generated sounds to create the ‘impression of an ancient language’. The few words that appear in Latin would mean nothing in the context of the numbers.

He shared his experiences in a moderator-deleted Reddit post, which through the Wayback Machine is still visible. In the comments, he also responds to other translations of Elden Ring songs; on the internet it would be wrongly suggested that the soundtrack contains extra lore of the game.
