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
