<br />
The frequent mentions of Mabus possibly refer to the writings of Nostradamus. Mabus is popularly considered to be the name of one of three supposed antichrists in the writings of Nostradamus. This is disputed by others, but nonetheless the name "Mabus" for the Antichrist remains tied to Nostradamus mythology.<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 R<br><br />
M-A-B-U-S<br><br />
Mabus, Mabus</blockquote><br />
* From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing.<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will always come to be / Just the Lord's love to me<br><br />
I'm ? today<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, a deep raspy voice, possibly TTS, saying "Capricorn".<br />
