The text to this piece is taken from "The Crawling Chaos" by Andrew Hughes, later to become the first Noneuclid album.
Once again, I had the text translated into Latin for the magnificent sound of that ancient language. Parts of this piece appear in Noneuclid's "Void Bitch" - this further use of this choir piece was intended when I wrote it.
