Comments

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.

Samples / Lyrics

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".

From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing, sampled from Door of My Heart (A Chant by Paramhansa Yogananda)

Just for once come to me
I look for Thee night and day.

From 1:58, a prayer from the end of televangelist Jack Van Impe's 1990 video tape "A.D. 2000: The End?".^[1]

I am a sinner
All have sinned
You bore my sin
You shed your blood for me
To cleanse me
I receive you
And your shed blood
For the remission of my sins
Come into my heart
Save me now
Help me to be ready for your return

In your name, I pray this

At 2:55, a deep raspy voice, possibly TTS, saying "Capricorn".
