This is the song that plays at the end of the StarCraft: Brood War intro cinematic. It's called Brood War Aria and was composed by Glenn Stafford and Jason Hayes.

I reconstructed the lyrics based on what I heard (I'm French) and various online sources. The first part is in Latin and the second in French.

Glenn Stafford has never confirmed or denied that this is correct, so it remains open to debate :)

Lyrics :

Morituri te salutant
Via Solaris
Morituri te salutant

Precia ob orgia
Creatorum revenit initium
Requiescat in pace, verna mori

N'aie pas peur de souffrir
Le futur nous attend
Laissez nous les cieux, adieu !

Le soldat reviendra !
Arrivera victorieux !
Tombez pour l'honorer !
