Rite Of Passage Lyrics - Black Clouds & Silver Linings - Dream Theater

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The final stage 

A sacred home 

Unlock the door 

And lay the cornerstone 

A rite of passage 

Men of wealth and power 

Influence and fame 

Philosphers 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 cornerstone 

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 

A new life has begun 

A rite of passage
