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
