The Family and the Fishing Net Lyrics

The song is an ironic take on a wedding. In this song it's a mad, pagan ritual with sacrifices.

@Arujei I used to think this was Santeria myself and the "worried father, long lost lover" was Dia de Muertos, but I don't think there's much to the pagan angle in the song
