[edit] The "age of Capricorn", to followers of astrology, is an upcoming astrological age that will follow the current "age of Aquarius" and begin around the year 4000 AD.[1] Astrologists theorise that humans, by this time, will be "born clairvoyant" and that the concept of death will disappear as humans "will be in constant contact with the worlds beyond."[2] The mentions of "Mabus" likely refer to the writings of famed astrologer and seer Nostradamus. Followers of Nostradamus claim that the name "Mabus" refers to the Antichrist[3], and several attempts have been made to link this name with well-known figures, from Barack Obama to Osama Bin Laden. The sample of a man rearranging the letters of "Usama" to "M a a u s" then to "Mabus" is almost certainly a reference to this.[4] Samples / Lyrics[edit] From 0:49 onwards, a Nostradamus prophecy theorist (potentially John Hogue) performing anagrammatic analysis on the name "Mabus", linking Osama Bin Laden through an alternative spelling "Usama".

Mabus, Mabus From 1:25 onwards, call and response choral singing, sampled from Door of My Heart (A Chant by Paramhansa Yogananda)

Just for once, come to me I look for Thee night and day

From 1:58, a prayer from the end of televangelist Jack Van Impe's 1990 video tape "A.D. 2000: The End?".[5]

I am a sinner All have sinned You bore my sin You shed Your blood for me To cleanse me I receive You And Your shed blood For the remission of my sins Come into my heart Save me now Help me to be ready for Your return

In Your name, I pray this At 2:55 and 3:16, a deep raspy voice, possibly TTS, saying "Capricorn". Trivia[ed
