Rite of Passage

It's the age of reason for the anarchist

It's a change of venue for the lobbyist

It's a dream of justice buried in the grist

It's a secret briefing based on need to know

It's a condescending rationale from command control

Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow

It's a rite of passage through a hurricane

Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain

Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain

And Abraham will take his son

Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done

Make a destination

Of the greater truth

Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words

When you find the proof

This is all you're given

It's your only move

It's a rite of passage for the everyman

To a higher ground

To a brighter light

To a promised land

You can feel the power

Of the master's hand

It's a rite of passage
