Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec | Succession of Witches (anagram of FLWV, with ``Love'') |
Excitate vos e somno, liberi mei Cunae non sunt Excitate vos e somno, liberi fatali Somnus non eat | Wake from your sleep, my children, The childhood years (cradles) are gone. Wake from your sleep, fated children, The peace (rest) is gone. |
Surgite Invenite Veni hortum veritatis Horti verna veritatis | Rise! Search! Go to the true garden, The garden of vernal truth. |
Ardente veritate Urite mala mundi Ardente veritate Incedite tenebras mundi | Fiery truth Burn the evil world. Fiery truth Light the dark world. |
Velete, liberi Diebus fatalibus | Goodbye, children, The day has died. |
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec |
