<br />
* The "[[wikipedia:Age of Capricorn|age of Capricorn]]", to followers of [[wikipedia:Astrology|astrology]], is an upcoming astrological age that will follow the current "[[wikipedia:Age of Aquarius|age of Aquarius]]" and begin around the year 4000 AD.<ref>https://compassastrology.com/capricorn-age</ref> Astrologists theorise that humans, by this time, will be "born [[wikipedia:Clairvoyance|clairvoyant]]" and that the concept of death will disappear as humans "will be in constant contact with the worlds beyond."<ref>https://www.astrolada.com/articles/predictive-astrology/the-age-of-the-capricorn-4000-ad-to-6000-ad-occult-secrets-of-the-distant-human-future.html</ref><br />
<br />
* The mentions of "Mabus" likely refer to the writings of famed astrologer and seer [[wikipedia:Nostradamus|Nostradamus]]. Followers of Nostradamus claim that the name "Mabus" refers to the Antichrist<ref>[[wikipedia:Nostradamus_in_popular_culture#.27Mabus.27_as_Antichrist]]</ref>, and several attempts have been made to link this name with well-known figures, from [[wikipedia:Barack Obama|Barack Obama]] to [[wikipedia:Osama Bin Laden|Osama Bin Laden]]. The sample of a man rearranging the letters of "Usama" to "M a a u s" then to "Mabus" is almost certainly a reference to this.<ref>[[wikipedia:Nostradamus_in_popular_culture#.27Mabus.27_as_Antichrist]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
* From 0:49 onwards, a Nostradamus prophecy theorist (potentially John Hogue) performing anagrammatic analysis on the name "Mabus", linking Osama Bin Laden through an alternative spelling "Usama".<br />
<blockquote><br />
U-S-A-M-A<br><br />
M double A-U-S<br><br />
U, uh<br><br />
M-A-B-U-S<br><br />
Mabus, Mabus</blockquote><br />
* A possible source for the “Mabus” sample may be a [https://artbellarchive.org/episode/july-3-2004-nostradamus-and-our-future-john-hogue/ 2004 Art Bell episode] featuring John Hogue, specifically two sections, one being about a 27-year war tied to the Antichrist, and another about possible Mabus candidates, which hogue ranks Bin Laden in the top three, hogue spells “M-A-B-U-S” and “M-Double A-U-S” at 1:29:58 and 1:31:33, although hogue doesn’t spell “U-S-A-M-A” or “U-Uh” in the episode, the spelling can be made through Audio Stitching using audio from other moments to make similar spellings.<br />
* From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing, sampled from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avn4ZTxSuyo Door of My Heart (A Chant by Paramhansa Yogananda)]<br />
<blockquote><br />
Just for once, come to me<br><br />
I look for Thee night and day<br />
</blockquote><br />
* From 1:58, a prayer from the end of televangelist Jack Van Impe's 1990 video tape "[https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1166333-a-d-2000-the-end A.D. 2000: The End?]".<ref>{{#ev:youtube|SXscbPwJXSA|480||||start=3219|false}}</ref><br />
<blockquote><br />
I am a sinner<br><br />
All have sinned<br><br />
You bore my sin<br><br />
You shed Your blood for me<br><br />
To cleanse me<br><br />
I receive You<br><br />
And Your shed blood<br><br />
For the remission of my sins<br><br />
Come into my heart<br><br />
Save me now<br><br />
Help me to be ready for Your return<br><br />
In Your name, I pray this</blockquote><br />
* At 2:55 and 3:16, a deep raspy voice, possibly TTS, saying "Capricorn".<br />
* During the transition to "[[Father And Son]]" faint sounds of water leaking can be heard.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* This is the third track in [[Boards of Canada]]'s [[Discography|discography]] that is named after a [[wikipedia:Zodiac|zodiac]] [[wikipedia:Astrological sign|symbol]], after "[[Aquarius (song)|Aquarius]]" and "[[Gemini]]".<br />
