A Rite Of Passage

Verse 1: Since the new world order played upon our fears Spreading accusations of radical ideas The brotherhood of wisdom: strength and dignity Its rituals and secrets remain a mystery Pre-chorus: Beneath an ever watchful eye, the angels of the temple fly Turn the key, walk through the gate The great ascent to reach a higher state A rite of passage The final stage; a sacred home Unlock the door, and lay the cornerstone A rite of passage Verse 2: Men of wealth and power, influence and fame Philosophers and leaders are members of the trade Bound by oath and honor, like the rose and cross An enigmatic union of esoteric thought (Pre-chorus, Chorus) Final-Chorus: Turn the key, walk through the gate The great ascent to reach a higher state A rite of passage The seven stars, the rising sun A perfect world where new life has begun A rite of passage
