"mortua heic ego sum et sum cinis, is cinis terrast: Sein est terra dea, ego sum dea, mortua non sum" Ashes to ashes, I shall fall Dust to dust, please heed my call I venerate you... oh ancient ones Whom cannot see... Helios' golden sun Veni, vidi, vici... scarred onto my soul Your legacy eternal... exhumed from your earthy hole With your life permanently halfway in the gutter you bet it's true With vengeful, vacant, gla**y eyes, d**h is eternally watching you Milk and blood... daily I shall sacrifice Rotting... wraiths shall feast in delight Libitina's claws... hound our every turn In honour... I cast animal flesh to burn I beseech you all to hear the truth or you'll live your life as a slave Heed your Ancestors' Call as soon you will be joining them in the grave Ashes to ashes, I shall fall Dust to dust, please heed my call (Your) Last breath, my breath as we gaze unto eternity
My d**h, your d**h as the ancestral line beckons thee Their legacy, my leprosy and d**h the final victory Their d**h, my breath as I succumb to infinity With open arms, I embrace the Cthonic (As father to a child) Once life is breathed onto you... d**h ruthlessly pursues Envious, the unborn are watching you... Their hatred shall never subdue As darkness suffocates your view... Only Hades shall await you The ancestors beckon to greet you... Heed their call and torment will not ensue "From my rotting body Flowers shall grow And I am in them And that is eternity" So believe me now, the hymn is true When you're six feet down, blackened and blue Or if your remains are cast among the seas Or your ashes are left floating in the breeze Remember this tale, before you fall And heed the Ancestors Call
