Ordo Draconis - The Rite Of Catherina De Medicis lyrics

STRUCK by a disease no doctor could identify

Nor explain the horrible symptoms.

King Charles IX was in a dying condition:

He was rapidly fading away

Leaving on the bed nothing more than a mere reflection

Of his former self.

The queen mother, who ruled him totally

And was likely to lose all her power

Under another government, was therefore forced to act,

After the king's astrologers proved themselves useless.

She would consult the oracle of La Tete Sanglante

And invoke the infernal spirit herself.

The queen mother and her servant

Now took a child, pure of heart and morals,

And prepared him for his first communion.

When the child was prepared after some days,

He was guided into the room of the I'll king

By the queen mother and her accomplices.Ordo Draconis - The Rite Of Catherina De Medicis - http://motolyrics.com/ordo-draconis/the-rite-of-catherina-de-medicis-lyrics.html

The queen mother, her main servant and a Jacobin monk

Strangled the child after he received his communion

On the steps of the altar.

The head, severed from the body by a single strike,

Was then placed on a large plate and brought near the king.

From there on the conjuration began, and the infernal spirit

Was now able to speak through the mouth of the beheaded child

On the questions that were asked he replied "Vim patior -

I'm being forced - vim patior."

The king's face turned white and his blood ran cold.

He understood clearly what he was told.

He was not under the protection any more

Of the powers he repeatedly summoned.

Paralysed by fear he lay on the bed,

As his last words were 'remove the head'

And he said nothing else until his last breath

And without any hope he awaited his death.
