Da-Doom - shame and death and misery and sin.

Da-Doom - torture and atonement and failure and inquisition.

Da-Doom - though I wallow in the luxury of self-abandonemnt and self-loathing,

Da-Doom - though I enjoy the intense discomfort of my hair shirt,

Da-Doom - though I have forced children to walk barefoot and they are crying,

Da-Doom -Lord in thy mercy love me.

The drummers were military in face and bearing. Their beat was fascistic. The parade reminded me of the Klu Klax Klan, of slavery - because of the pointed hoods, because of the lash. But I could not deny its power. The beat reached down into our primitive guts and found thrill-seeking fear there.
