Ceremony

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say

Can and will be used against you in a court of law.

To strip away the myth from the man is only dealing

With the symptoms in this critical condition, the disease

is untouched.

You saw what they did to me,

Don't tell me to forget.

Have you no sense of decency?

How can you justify arrest?

And now the charges are enraged

(Within this ceremony)

Imprisoned with a kiss, betrayed

(Within this ceremony)

The crucifixion of the faith

For all the loved ones left unnamed

We fought to give them life,

We touched the very soul

In the ancient funeral, The ceremony rites.

His faith relentlessly attacked and discredited

When your enemy can find a way of twisting your

Motives, believe he will.

To be convicted without fatal charm's infection,

When the perfect light upon him was corrupted by void,

Self-righteously judged.

To die in the line of duty, I am complete in its truth.

If you have died to the world, what can the world do

to you?

Into the darkness of the night

(Begins the ceremony)

Into the shadow of a dream

(Begins the ceremony)

Announce the coming of the white prophet and take

This cup away from me,

And stand in the light the superstar beholds,

In the ancient funeral, the ceremony rites.

We are conceived as the first circle, the book of

Knowledge surely tells,

We are all part of an unseen conflict within the world

And within ourselves.

And now we're closer to the light

(Release this ceremony)

And now we must prepare the way

(Release this ceremony)

Remove the ancient boundaries to give the son of man

His day,

To roll away the stone and rise to the throne

In awaited resurrection, the Ceremony rites.
