[III) Epilogue: The Deluge]

Fel Draconum vinum corum
Et venenum Aspidum insanabile

(Their wine is the poison of Dragons
And the cruel venom of Asps)
So pray (...) for death to procreate
Poisoning as it falls
A merciless cleansing
Intoxicating Silence among the ranks
Dark waters cold and pallid
Black dawn arise- asphyxiate
As the swineherd
Suffocates...





Draconis

Overall Meaning

The final section of the song "The Sign Draconis" by Order From Chaos is called "Epilogue: The Deluge." The lyrics here paint a gruesome image of death and destruction caused by the poison of dragons and asps. The words "Fel Draconum vinum corum/ Et venenum Aspidum insanabile" directly translate to "Their wine is the poison of Dragons/ And the cruel venom of Asps." This poisonous wine symbolizes death and decay that procreates throughout the land. The prayer for death is only to avoid the painful suffering caused by the toxic poison. The cleansing that follows is merciless, as the dark waters turn cold and the dawn arises black, symbolizing the end of life itself. The swineherd suffocates, unable to escape the all-encompassing power of the poison.
