Cue of the Week: “Voices of War”

This choral/orchestral piece accompanies a cutscene in the game Empire Earth 2 wherein the historical Knights Templar are cast in an ominous light. The lyrics are a twisted take on the familiar Kyrie Eleison: while the chorus starts with the conventional words, the basses and tenors switch to Ohi Eleison, meaning “No Mercy”.
