A Rite of Passage (Edit)

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 mysteryBeneath an ever watchful eye

The angels of the temple flyTurn 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 passageMen of wealth and power

Influence and fame

Philosophers and leaders

All members of the trade

Bound by oath and honor

Like the rose and cross

An enigmatic union

of esoteric thoughtsBeneath an ever watchful eye

The angels of the temple flyTurn 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 passageTurn 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, a new life has begun

A rite of passage
