[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
And Abraham will take his son
Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
It's a rite of passage
It's a rite of passage
It's a rite of passage
It's a rite of passage
It's a rite of passage
It's a rite of passage
