Deciphered Text
Non custos si fingar ille Caenrium
non fulmineus ego lyrae Barbatos
non si pegaseo ferar volatu
non Morphes niveae citaeque bigae
adde huc plumipedas volatilesque
ventorumque simul require cursum
quos iunctos amica mea mihi dicares
defessus tamen omnibus medullis
et multis languoribus peresus
essem te mihi amica quaeritando
caelum dilabitur
falsitas collabitur
Temporary Translation
Not as if I were to be outfitted as that guardian of Khaenri’ah
Not as if my destructive self were made to be the lyre of Barbatos
Not as if I were to soar like a Pegasus
Not if I were the swift, snow-white pair of Morphes
Add these to the feather-footed and the winged
And likewise, call for the swiftness of the winds
And though you should harness these, friend, and offer them to me
Yet I should be tired to the bone
And worn away by frequent faintness
My friend, while I would search for you
The heavens fall to pieces
And falsehoods collapse

- The related achievement’s name CREDE TENEBRIS is likely also a reference to this.
