War This here flash movie
I love this movie.
No, it's not in English, and no I don't know what language it's in, nor do I know what the lyrics mean, nor is it relevant to the movie.

That's ah.... interesting.
Catchy tune though. "You can honestly say that you can settle for a life full of repression and denial?" "And the dinner parties. You can never forget the dinner parties."

Yes, that's the song. (It's in the credits at the end)
Anyone know what language it's in? I'm pretty sure it's Latin-based ("et" seems to mean "and"), but I know it's not French, and it doesn't sound like Spanish.

I believe the language is Rumanian, but I could be wrong. Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

Oooh, the internet. Anonymous postings of ridiculous opinions for years to come.
Cheers.

anyway, here's the translation for the lyrics:

I plead to you. Help, Father help me
I'm standing in boots of concrete, Father help me
I said, Russian roulette's not a good idea
But he felt fine so he forced me along
I watched him spin the cylinder
he put the barrel between his teeth
I’ll pray for you my son
Cos by him you've not yet been judged
Cos nobody can say no to the amount Monsieur Clavier gave
And only Father martin knows what's behind a hallelujah
Tony has a genuine double
Track him down, set up a contract, give him money
You may take a handful out of our collection
You may become as most people, or you may become a priest
But never return cos your days here are numbered

I just watched this on mute while the radio was playing "Where is my mind?" by the Pixies. It made the movie that much cooler. Fleche!! Fleche for fantasy.

You said the band was from Norway, but that doesn't ipso facto mean they are singing in Norwegian.
Thanks for clearing that up. Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.

Thanks for clearing that up. As a swede, neighbouring Norway, I can confirm that they are indeed singing in norwegian.
Our languages are very closely related and they sing in one of the two major norwegian "languages" (no, not accents) called Nynorsk ("New norwegian").

Rats! And I had it pegged for "Old Norwegian" greyvnorsk. "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.

Hi!

I don´t really feel like downloading a big chunk of bits right now, but if someone posts the original text in Norwegian I can translate it. Norwegian and Swedish are really close, and we can carry on a conversation in our respective languages without problems.
Have a nice time!
