lyrics

In the procession of the penitents
The high priests of the austere life
they're marching glad and well adorned
Over the ashes of the sacrificed
they grin while singing praises
to their satisfied God

Slow it down, oh Lord
And pity the dead
Who praise you
In their quiet sleep

In the procession of the penitents
Sinners guilty of gluttony
Guilty of sensuality
Punished to the marrow
Immaculate as the Creator
Guilty of abstinence
Let them blame their shortcomings

Slow it down, oh Lord
And pity the dead
Who praise you
In their quiet sleep

In the procession of the penitents
Men slice their own flesh
Burning it as an offer to heaven
To the highest of all heavens

In the procession of the penitents
Men drink sips of their bitter drink
Convulse and vomit the gobbled urine
To feel blessed by the darkest of nights
They eat apportions of curdled blood
Harvested by the bleeding of other pilgrims

Gently mutilated
Blandly amputated
While singing praises to God
