"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, glassy eyes, Death 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 death, your death as the ancestral line beckons thee

Their legacy, my leprosy and death the final victory

Their death, 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...

Death 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
