Procession Lyrics

Cover art for Procession lyrics by New Order

Hate to say it, but it sounds like it's about Ian Curtis. Perhaps the title is taken from JD's "The Eternal":

"Procession moves on, the shouting is over Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone"

Though the song is dedicated to him, New Order proceeds?

The first verse especially could be about Ian.

Also, the lyric is "Your heart beats you LATE at night". That mix-up is everywhere and makes no sense!
