(01:03):
My dearest Elizabeth, this will be my last call to you.
They're on their way now. The authorities know about everything. I'm sheltered in the
crypt at St Sebastian's, I doubt they'll find me here during the evening service.
I just need to explain, I need you to know, I did it all for the Lord, I did it all in his name. I

(01:28):
told you about my visions, he appeared to me he told me this was the way my salvation, my purpose.
Abide with me, Lord, in this, my time of need. Guide my hand,
ensure my acts fulfill your glorious vision.

(01:48):
Oh Lizzy, if I hadn't fulfilled his wishes how would I have been able to live with myself?
My lord holds my hand steady as I complete his work. Lord, protect me as I fulfill your wishes.
His requests were not unreasonable. They started small but they grew. At first He only asked

(02:15):
for tokens, small trinket type offerings, possessions and icons of the anointed ones.
Yes, I may have pillaged sacred places and taken the symbols of faith, but the power the rabbis,
the priests the imams instilled in those items, that was the power my Lord required,

(02:39):
and as He began to wield that power my Lord began to require sustenance.
In the last few days I came to terms with the fact that His requests were sacrosanct,
He was not asking me to damage this earth but to save it through small violations of man's law.

(03:04):
He needed those souls to be reaped in His name. He needed their blood to be fed to His altar,
He needed my life, and their death, to be His.
I know now that it was my duty to listen to Him, my father, my prince, my morning star.

(03:30):
I will take my rightful seat at His right hand, I have enacted His will on earth like a son,
I have spread His truth, His wish, His will is done. I have cleansed and purged for Him,
I have delivered His demands and I will be delivered His wisdom and compassion. I will ascend

(03:56):
without the need for earthly possessions, or attachments. I owe my life to Him, I owe my
soul to Him, He is glorious, He is magnificent, His maleficence is necessary. The harvest was

(04:18):
tough. The five souls I collected were powerful and bore that power in their self-preservation.
The bishop was probably the most resistant and tried desperately, but with futility,
to prevent that furnace, those fires, from reaching him, from consuming him.

(04:46):
The embers of each house of worship acted as a flaming altar for my Lord. Each one burned
gave strength to Him, Beswicaan. I do not need you Lizzy, but I beg you understand that He

(05:10):
is the true creator and His is the only love I must ever have. He gave
this world its religions as a way to harness the power of worship. The spiritual leaders
gathered that faith on a regular basis in the names of false gods
so that Beswicaan could now harvest that power of deception as His own. Beswicaan's great deception

(05:40):
of so many souls for so many millennia will bring a lasting purge on this earth.
The time has come, they're here outside. Abide with me, Beswicaan, this is my end,
this is my devotion to you, the one true creator, the one, the only entity of the deep, thunderous

(06:06):
power of the sky, the shudder of the earth, this planet is your vessel and you shall break forth.
You will appear to them and they will know your glory. The molten rock that encases you
will be shattered and you shall be free. Come forth my Lord, come forth, come to me

(06:28):
now and your magnificence will shine forth. Let me ascend, to join you. Abide with me, Abide with me!
