'The Initiation' I'm getting chorded in Through rites recorded in script by the templar knights The secrets sworn in men They say the fortune's been passed down like stolen gems Like sacred prophecies and bibles they're encoded in I'm feeling born again baptized by the double cross staff Feel the devil-god clash in me The darkness ending the light beginning A rough stone given symbolizing flaws are many My degree in knowledge started with this self rebelling This self-healing from the demons that my mind's revealing They ask, Do I believe in a supreme being? I know about creator Like I know compasses with G's mean My rite of passage I die and hatch with Keys to Paths which are given by the classic masters I'm entering a secret world of ancient practice Being watched by the all-seeing eye that guides the masses (CHORUS) We celebrate life We celebrate death This rite of passage, Old blood to new breath This is my new birth My shed spirit gets left Initated to this way of life 'til day of death We celebrate life We celebrate death
