Heeding the call of the knell Mourners gather, make my lust swell Alluring tears, in sorrow shed Wake the wish to pay my last respect to their dead Adorned with many a good wish The corpse's laid out for kin and parish Alone inside the farewell room I'll hallow it with my own special boon I am your shepherd, receive my blessing I am your pastor, giving you the last rites I am your priest, receive my unction I am your parson, performing your ablution Cleansed by my holy fluid thou shalt be Sanctified by the touch of an avid servant of god So with this boon from my loins I consecrate thee In nomine Patris et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
