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

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
Initiated to this way of life 'til day of death
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
Initiated to this way of life 'til day of death

We celebrate life
We celebrate death

I once refused to live in harmony
Was like the rest and lived Demonically
Guided by Spirts seen the monstrosity
These rites of passage got me fasting
Sweat lodge purify The soul prepared for action
Been taught to learn and live the dark
Stay warm in the cold, dream catcher gave me visions of war
Catastrophic events, vicious men bring forth
Riding iron horses nuclear explosion smoke
(Do you see?) The skies are gray, the water is black
(They say) the time has come, we can't go back
Prepared for that
While most out indulged with rats
Spiritually we've been been training for the aftermath
Sun dancing, shedding the blood for the sake of man
Four days in the heat, pray with the medicine man
The secrets of life revolve around the Son of God
The earth laws we violate so there's no tomorrow

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
Initiated to this way of life 'til day of death
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
Initiated to this way of life 'til day of death

We celebrate life
We celebrate death
We celebrate life
We celebrate death
(Life, life, life, life, life, life)
(Death, death, death, death, death, death)
