Theme
An explicit narrative of the Antichrist's conception and birth, depicting a 'secretive nun' bearing 'the old ones' bastard son.' The lyrics describe the unborn child's 'toxic blood of not known birth' and conclude with the prophecy 'Antichrist will walk the earth.' The track serves as the penultimate moment before the Antichrist's arrival, presenting the apocalyptic birth as simultaneously theological heresy and biological inevitability—the moment when divine order is violated and infernal destiny begins its materialization.
Lyrics
Clad in cloak
A secretive nun
Bearing the old ones´ bastard son
Varucose phallos
Obsessed and poised her
Cast a veil of dusk upon the cloister
Prime mover
Maternal slave
With child of her grave
Mother
Filth in her womb
Father
Waiting in tomb
Selected heir
Machinary insect
Bloodline of the dark architect
Toxic blood
Of not known birth
Antichrist will walk the earth
Prime mover
Maternal slave
With child of her grave
