I can see clearly now a painful vision indeed. An attempt at genocide, 12.000 years of pain. The human thirst for dominance leads them to Setian ground, the gravest of all threats now exists and all galaxies could suffer. Imagine the consequence if Man does succeed, the universe and all that lives will suffer evermore. Like a virus Man will spread through the time continuum. It’s a power they can’t comprehend, a power we must secure. So heed my word, a prophecy that’s bleak and haunting. Acceptance not fear will pave the wave for life returning. The Elder foreseen in sacred flames our world is burning. Yet more things are clear by grand design, punishment unfolding. Faith in the prophecy! We’ll take this tragedy, unite as one. Fate show man no sympathy! Something wicked feeds, thy will be done. Ten thousand souls, one for every year of framing. One of thirteen, the High Priest, and the twelve that council. Charged with our tome, retribution for our loved ones suffering. In secret they’ll meet, a global network that endures for centuries. Faith in the prophecy! We’ll take this tragedy, unite as one. Fate show man no sympathy! Something wicked feeds, thy will be done.

At last we will claim what is rightfully ours. Absolute power, absolute knowledge. All the galaxies and the subjects therein will kneel before the human race. Unlimited power, unlimited knowledge. Mankind will be one with the Architect of the Universe! At last within my grasp, we are one step closer to cleansing. We claim the universe, causing galaxies to cower. Unlimited power, unlimited knowledge for... Man will no longer be seen as primitive or inferior. Unlimited power, unlimited knowledge for man!

Screaming in agony, cries fill the air. Eyes once full of hope shedding tears of despair. All that they’ve ever known is dead! Fire reigns from above, iron birds of dread. All that they ever loved is dead. All that they ever dreamt is dead! Yet there’s a glint of hope if the chosen can survive, in secret the ten thousand hide. East in the mountains the chosen bide their time. The Clouding, our strike on mankind! Temples are burning, streets soaked with blood. Heed the prophecy, destiny is done. All that they ever loved is dead, all that they ever dreamt is dead. Yet there’s a glint of hope if the chosen can survive, in secret the ten thousand hide. East in the mountains the chosen bide their time. The Clouding, our strike on mankind!

I must believe that what’s a memory now was the only way to know that all of those you love were just stripped away. And now if I’m the one to lead us to a brand new day, at peace I must be with the brutal truth to truly lead the way. Please, God give me the strength to lead. It’s my charge to keep! Bring the sorrow, the fuel I need. It’s my charge to keep! Please, God give me the strength to lead. It’s my charge to keep! Bring the sorrow, the fuel I need. It’s my charge to keep! Now we must wipe the tears away, gather up our inner strength. The loss of those we can’t replace will bring about their fate. And though many lifetimes it will take to bring justice on the way. We must never falter, we must never fail, this is our charge to keep! Please, God give me the strength to lead. It’s my charge to keep! Bring the sorrow, the fuel I need. It’s my charge to keep!

As I reflect on the situation, a heavy heart for the task at hand, I witnessed savagery, hands tied to destiny. The exodus of the chosen as foreseen in the prophecy, hiding until it’s time to cloud all the human minds. When they spoke of the invasion we were chosen from ties that bind. Bloodlines through centuries destined to be the ones to lead. The twelve and I, a new high council absorb the power of the Watcher’s eye. The high priest resides in me, the Elder lives on in all thirteen...

Passed down through centuries the order lives and feeds upon them. A global fraternity, philanthropy, tactical deception. In plain sight throughout all time, contriving human decline. Instilling those who lead, seizing opportunities. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order thrives so the day arrive of his birth. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order lives for the day of Man’s coming curse. Create divisive creeds, embrace the fact man needs religion. Prophets, saviors and priests, all convinced they have the answers. The truth is they’ll never know behind faith they’ll hide and hope. We’ll build them a martyr son, sacrificial lamb, the holy one. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order thrives so the day arrive of his birth. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order lives for the day of Man’s coming curse. The object of their divide, so convinced their way is right. The narrow view of all mankind, in the name of God they will divide. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order thrives so the day arrive of his birth. Rise of Setian Evocation, and the order lives for the day of Man’s coming curse.

We must be swift integrating with Man, instating the vision of the master plan. We'll placate the humans in need! Their form we have taken and their tongue we can speak, plotting and planning, total secrecy. We'll infiltrate and take the lead! Misery unfolding for the rest of time, a world that they created for their vicious crimes. This is the start of what is meant to be. Infiltrate, assimilate, fulfill our destiny. The ten thousand chosen charged with our creed, ensuring division in societies. Instate the Domino Decree! Lead them to wander new land, across the seas, creating new cultures, fascist or free. Division will bring them to their knees! Misery unfolding for the rest of time, a world that they created for their vicious crimes. This is the start of what is meant to be. Infiltrate, assimilate, fulfill our destiny.

Time, thousands of years pass by but with the ancient rites intact. Man, mankind has multiplied, spreading worldwide as planned. Kings and their armies preen, draw lines in the sand. Fight for their so called rights to God, gold and land. And through the ages we hand them their fate, marionettes on a string. Phased retribution precise and exact until the birth of the one sets us free. Blood, Earth Mother's soaked in blood spilled from the warring Clans of Man. Greed will serve to feed unrest, antagonized within by our hand. Pain, death and pestilence will shake human faith. Creeds serving heresy, a crutch for Man’s flawed way And through the ages we hand them their fate, marionettes on a string. Phased retribution precise and exact until the birth of the one sets us free.

Cause, this is the creed that brings effect, that of which of mankind’s besieged. By our plans devised infect, kings and empires rise and fall. By the Rose and our decree of the Elder's prophecy that rids us of the human threat, and frees the hand of destiny. Fate by our dominion in their sovereign states. Fall like dominos, framing mankind’s fate. Kill, assassinate the ones that lead by their example we deceive. With religions we create martyrs, saviors and their slaves. To a sad sadistic need, to crucify a puppet king of a selfish vile race that is filled to the core by greed. Fate by our dominion in their sovereign states. Fall like dominos, framing mankind’s fate. Divide mankind, destroy their kind! Fear will make us free, cast doubt through history. Divide... Fate by our dominion in their sovereign states. Fall like dominos, framing mankind’s fate.

Centuries pass step by step, Revelation's coming threat. Sand of time, dark intent, devise of creeds breed discontent. Prophecy, stars collide, born is he who turns the tide. Ancient rage, vehemence, indignation and torment. Framing Armageddon... Dark equation, Astrology, Armageddon, The Reckoning, Revelation, Astral Beast, Armageddon, The Reckoning! Shallow views, intolerance, Jewish, Muslim, Protestant. The root of man’s insolence lies in fear and arrogance. A valid threat if they unite Moses, Muhammad, Jesus Christ! Born of Man with second sight, twist their words we will divide. Framing Armageddon... Dark equation, Astrology, Armageddon, The Reckoning, Revelation, Astral Beast, Armageddon, The Reckoning! If humans learn what's truly at stake, and of the birth of Set Abominae. (Their primitive minds, a maddened state, frame it as the Elder deemed, frame it our way! Framing Armageddon...

Look unto the days of warning, a night that the sky is burning when stars collide. Pure mathematical perfection, ancient pain feeds resurrection when stars collide. Forged in flames, sacred fire, born in eastern sands in guile. Born is he, ten millennia after the Clouding of Man. Sincerest veneration for he that vindicates the end of Man. Sworn are we, ten millennia after the Clouding of Man. Unleash abomination as we accelerate the end of Man. Look unto the days of warning, a night that the sky is burning when stars collide.
