Jorge Lamata - Geisslerlied

Videoclip of a song about the flagellants, Christian radicals from late Middle Ages who mortified their own flesh by whipping it until blood flowed.
Movie pictures are taking from "The Seventh Seal", a great film, because they show how these processions were perfectly.

GEISSLERLIED
Music and lyrics by Jorge Lamata. © 2008

We're flagellants in redeeming procession
Envoys of the Holy Ghost
Night and day we march with our candles
Whipping ourselves beyond blood
We know the reason of plagues and famines
Divine Punishment for us
Mankind moved away from the Right Way
This made angry Our Lord
The end of the world is very near
Beware the wrath of Our God
The only way to obtain Our Lord's mercy
Is make penance joining us
Forget about the clergy and bishops
We are above of the Pope
They were teached by greed and gold's power
We've been teached by God
Join us in redeeming procession
Be envoy of the Holy Ghost
