Procession

A procession (French procession via Middle English, derived from Latin, processio, from procedere, to go forth, advance, proceed) is an organized body of people walking in a formal or ceremonial manner.

Procession elements

Many elements may be used to make a procession more significant than just "people walking in the same direction":

  • A special mode of transport, such as a ceremonial barge, elephant howdah, horse-drawn carriage, or a palanquin carried on the shoulders of others. Cleopatra's arrival to seduce Mark Antony on a perfumed barge has taken on legendary proportion. African kings sometimes ride in palanquins carved to look like luxury cars or other status symbols, while Muslim brides travel in camel howdahs as shown in Bride Arriving in a Village, Biskra, Algeria by Philippe Pavy. The Pope has traditionally been carried in a special sedan chair known as the sedia gestatoria. In humbler terms, a mayor, grand marshal, or fair "queen" of a local parade will often ride in the town's fanciest automobile.

    Procession (The Moody Blues song)

    "Procession" is a 1971 song by The Moody Blues, and it is the opening track on their album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. It is their only song to have been co-written by all five members of the band.

    For the most part, "Procession" is an instrumental song, with the exception of its three spoken words: "desolation", "creation", and "communication". These words, as well as other words ending in "-ation" also appear on the album track "One More Time to Live."

    "Procession" basically describes the history of music from the beginning of time up to the present. It begins with synthesized electronic sounds, which is then followed by the sound effects of wind, rain and thunder. This part represents "desolation" and "creation." At the end of this part, the piano (played by Mike Pinder) plays the notes E-G-B-D-F, which stands for the album's title Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, which is a phrase to help musicians remember the notes on the treble clef.

    The song continues with the sound of prehistoric drums, and all of the band members (including Edge) chanting "Aum" in a prehistoric style. This represents the idea of "communication."

    Procession

    by: Genitorturers

    Subjected nevermore, to the whims of the dying
    Steal their flesh, from the pool of the lying
    Injected more, erythematous moisture
    Beyond high, by the chosen kind
    Feel it, to breathe evermore
    Of the wicked of the world, where processions' end
    Subjected nevermore, to the fears of the dying
    Feel their high, attempts to allude
    Your flesh will sigh, in the midst of moisture
    One sect more for the chosen kind
    Can you feel it? Can you feel their high?
    Feel it! Breathe evermore!
    Breathe from the chosen kind, then lie back down
    Feel their high and breathe evermore
    End your search for the nevermore
