Subtitles (1K)
How to use the subtitles
The subtitles are "soft subs": They'll show up in supported media players, such as VLC, as long as they are downloaded to the same directory as the vid and named the same name as the vid file (ex. - thuviaptarth_fringe_etheric_msgs.srt).
To see subtitles on streaming, click the triangle then "CC" on the YouTube stream.
Lyrics
Ya leel
O Night
Maktub
It is written
Kulli shey maktub
Everything is written
Maktub
It is written
Fil ahlam
Written in dreams
"Maktub" is an Arabic term that means "It is written [in the book of life by God]"; it is sometimes translated as "destiny."

I will spare you all the long boring story of how I was really trying to make a more cheerful Fringe vid for poor Charmax and apparently I am just not very good at happiness. But I really wanted to include one image because of the lyrics, and then it kept moving back and further back on the timeline and eventually it moved off the timeline entirely. So sad! So I will seize this opportunity to show it to you.

See? It's perfect. Except for as how it would not actually fit in the vid.
