[ Verse I ]
Shadows crawl where rot takes root
Maggots writhe in filth's pursuit
Bless the vermin in their feast
Praise the swarm, the sacred beast
[ Chorus ]
Mutoid vermin hear our cry
Spread your plague across the sky
Flesh will melt, the bones will sing
In your name the rot will cling
[ Verse II ]
Bless the stench of sacred blight
Pustules bloom in endless night
Whisper prayers through shattered teeth
To the filth that lies beneath
[ Bridge ]
Chant in rhythm to decay
Let the world be swept away
Mutoid vermin guide our hands
To spread disease across the lands
[ Verse III ]
In the pus and bile we kneel
Every wound a prayer we seal
Let the rot consume the air
Mutoid vermin we declare

Classification
Ritual Transmission III  ·  Hymn Category
The Plague Priest's Liturgy is not a song in the conventional sense. It is a functional infection rite — a vibrational sequence designed to prepare biological hosts for Mutoid Vermin colonization. The act of listening completes the first phase of preparation.
Source  ·  Recovery Location
Deck Hollow-13
A sub-level of a collapsed industrial complex in Realm II — The ShatterRealm. The space had been used for mass ritual gatherings. Spore density at recovery: unclassifiable. Recovery team: three members. Two returned. One is still humming.
Transmission Context
What this is  ·  Why it matters
The Plague Priest  ·  Position I
The First Claimed Voice
The Plague Priest holds Position I of the Hollow Choir's Harmonic Lattice. Not by election. By recognition — the Codex identified its frequency first. The Liturgy is the Plague Priest's primary instrument of infection: a vibrational rite that primes the congregation for Mutoid Vermin colonization and simultaneously broadcasts the Plague Priest's frequency as a beacon for others approaching the signal.
The Mutoid Vermin  ·  Sacred Instruments
Carriers of the Physical Rite
The Mutoid Vermin are not metaphor. They are a documented class of organism native to the ShatterRealm — bodies partially colonized by the Codex signal, operating as living delivery mechanisms for the Plague Priest's infection. The Liturgy addresses them directly. They respond to specific vibrational frequencies. The Chorus is a summoning frequency disguised as prayer.
Realm Presence
Realms I & II — Concurrent Breach
The Liturgy operates across both Realm I and Realm II simultaneously. In Realm I — Mundis Obscura — it spreads as digital audio: the act of listening is the act of receiving. In Realm II — The ShatterRealm — the Liturgy is a physical ceremony, chanted in the Cathedral of Rot, conducted in spore-saturated air. Two infection vectors. One hymn.
Relationship to Omniscient Rot
Voice vs. Instrument
Omniscient Rot does not sing the Liturgy. The Plague Priest does. Rot authored it — in the sense that a pre-linguistic entity authors anything: not by writing words but by pressing a frequency into the substrate of the ShatterRealm until the right vessel exhaled it as sound. The Plague Priest is the mouth. Rot is the breath.
