Lyrics

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
