Lyrics of A Rite of Passage by Dream Theater
verse
Since the new world order
Played upon our fears
Spreading accusations
Of radical ideas
verse
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
chorus
Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage
chorus
The final stage
A sacred home
Unlock the door
And lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
verse
Men of wealth and power
Influence and fame
Philosphers and leaders
All members of the trade
verse
Bound by oath and honor
Like the rose and cross
An enigmatic union
Of esoteric thought
pre-chorus
Beneath an ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly
chorus
Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage
chorus
The final stage
A sacred home
Unlock the door
And lay the cornerstone
A rite of passage
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
A new life has begun
A rite of passage
Writer(s): Michael Portnoy, John Myung, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess
