A Rite Of Passage

A Rite Of Passage
album: "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" (2009)
[Music by Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess and Myung, Lyrics by John Petrucci]




* back                                                    * next         

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

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 corner stone
A rite of passage

Men 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 thought

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 corner stone
A rite of passage

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
