Plague Campaign
Oceano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The ancients, they forewarned of such plight.
Infinite blackness shrouds the sky.
This is only the first sign.
The ancients, they were forewarned of such a plight.
Years passed on, nobody listened, nobody survived.
Nobody survives.
Mankind's demise is reoccurring. every succeeding generation is predestined to suffer.
Until these voluminous hordes are satisfied or nothing is left to devour.
The most insignificant of beings have rendered mankind helpless.
This impending swarm harbors a catastrophic epidemic sweeping the coasts, invading your homes.
Transmitting necrotizing fasciitis, the aroma of fecal particulates infiltrate the senses, and from the altitudes they descend.
Overwhelming multitudes of incessant arhropods fulminate from the sky, engulfing everything in their path.
Still they have an appetite.
They're not satisfied.




Still they are not satisfied.
The plague campaign takes flight, and so this plague continues on.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oceano's song Plague Campaign paint a stark and terrifying picture of impending doom for humanity. The reference to the ancients forewarning of such a plight suggests a cyclical nature to the destructive force that is about to be unleashed upon the world. The imagery of infinite blackness shrouding the sky and the impending swarm of arthropods creates a sense of foreboding and helplessness. The lyrics suggest that this is only the first sign of the impending disaster, and that nobody will survive the onslaught.


The use of language in the lyrics is particularly striking in its ability to create a sense of disgust and terror. The description of necrotizing fasciitis and the aroma of fecal particulates infiltrating the senses is particularly effective in conveying the sense of horror that is about to be unleashed upon the world. The overwhelming multitudes of arthropods fulminating from the sky creates a vivid visual image that is both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

I still think this song should play in the background in a final boss battle in games like Elden Ring, Shadow of Colossus, God Of War, The Witcher or some similar game (especially this part 2:54)
