Cynic - The Initiation lyrics

[Verse 1: Sick Jacken] 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 pa**ed 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 compa**es with G's mean My rite of pa**age I die and hatch with Keys to Paths which are given by the cla**ic masters I'm entering a secret world of ancient practice Being watched by the all-seeing eye that guides the ma**es [Chorus] We celebrate life We celebrate d**h This rite of pa**age, Old blood to new breath This is my new birth My shed spirit gets left Initated to this way of life 'til day of d**h (x2) We celebrate life We celebrate d**h [Verse 2: Cynic] I once refused to live In harmony...was like the rest and lived Demonically...guided by Spirts seen the monstrosity...these rites of Pa**age 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 after math 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 [Chorus] We celebrate life We celebrate d**h This rite of pa**age, Old blood to new breath This is my new birth My shed spirit gets left Initated to this way of life 'til day of d**h We celebrate life We celebrate d**h
