I never knew what a vestal virgin was, TY. I know

I never knew what a vestal virgin was, TY. I know we all heard the term in Procol Harum's 'Whiter Shade Of Pale", but I wonder how many of us knew what they were.

Megadeth is the only other one using the term in a song that I could find.

Bestow upon me knowledge
Wizard, all-knowing, all wise
I want to rule my kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled

Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins wheel the wyverns in

Let the ceremony
Consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protégé
Of five magics

Give me alchemy
Give me wizardry
Give me sorcery
Thermatology, electricity
Magic if you please
Master all of these
Bring him to his knees

I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics

Possessed with Hellish torment
(Possessed with Hellish torment)
I master magics five
(I master magics five)
Hunting the abyss lord
(Hunting the abyss lord)
Only one will stay alive
(Only one will stay alive)

He who lives by the sword
(He who lives by the sword)
Will surely also die
(Will surely also die)

He who lives in sin
(He who lives in sin)
Will surely live the lie
