this is from page 3
Not a great translation, since it's not prose. I can't find an official translation of "incarnata" anywhere - googling it gets ya a plant family, i think it's prolly safe to assume it's somehow related to "incarnation" but the exact translation is prolly different, so i'll leave it untranslated for now

here goes

From the assassin, prophetess (could be cloaks, but unlikely) and heavenly calvary
In prayer, magical arts and secret rites
Seventh from seventh, teaching incarnata.

Youngest by birth, and the seventh Theban principle
What Apollo spared youthful Ilioneus [as he] fled
Seventh from seventh, teaching incarnata.

Highest secret, shade (can be literal shade or spirit/ghost) reaching through time
From the seventh to the seventh, the line connects (continues)
Seventh from seventh, teaching incarnata.

We have forbidden wisdom
And hide it in a powerful place
Seventh from seventh, teaching incarnata.

Roles in roles (disguises in disguises), and after another
No trace of power, leaving through time
Seventh from seventh, teaching incarnata.

like i said, not so great but the gist of it's there, pretty much the Seventh sons' creed or statement of purpose or whatnot

My alternative translation of page3:

Originating from murderers, witches and horsemen,
With prayers, magic skills and secret rites,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.

We are the shepherds, placed in charge of the herds,
With signs, pictures and words,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.

The last born of the seven princes of Thebes,
The fleeing Ilioneus being spared by Apollo,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.

The highest secret, extended through time,
From seventh to seventh, the line continues,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.

We hold secret wisdom,
We hide in a powerful place,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.

From person to person, one after another,
No trace of force abandoned to time,
The seventh of seven, the doctrine become incarnate.
