Ritual Dictates - Burn the Widow Lyrics

Widow
Show us your devotion
And throw yourself on your husband's pyre
Blushing bride
Is it your obligation
To carry out the ritual
And join him in the fire

Widow, burn

Are you honest
Are you a righteous woman
Then wear the fire
Or face the eyes of condemnation
Are you of value
A nonexistent burden
Or with grand veneration
Just immolate amid great fanfare

No pressure
Dutiful wife

The blazing fire turns
Flesh and bone to ash
Honourable sacrifice
Forever chaste

The blazing fire turns
Flesh and bone to ash
Purged of her sins
Forever chaste
