Songwriters: Myung, John Ro; Petrucci, John P; Portnoy, Michael S; Rudess, Jordan Charles;    This is the new world order, plague upon our peers  Spreading accusations of radical fears  The brotherhood of wisdom, strength and dignity  Its rituals and secrets remain a mystery    Beneath an ever watchful eye  The angels of the temple fly    Turn the key, walk through the gate  The great ascent to reach a higher state, a rite of passage  The final stage, a sacred home  Unlock the door and lay the cornerstone, a rite of passage    Men of wealth and power, influence and fame  Philosophers and leaders are members of the trade  Bound by oath and honor like the rose and cross  An enigmatic union of esoteric thought    Beneath the ever watchful eye  The angels of the temple fly    Turn the key, walk through the gate  The great ascent to reach a higher state, a rite of passage  The final stage, a sacred home  Unlock the door and lay the cornerstone, a rite of passage    Turn the key, walk through the gate  The great ascent to reach a higher state, a rite of passage  The seven stars, the rising sun  A perfect world, a new life has begun, a rite of passage        © KEY WIZ MUSIC; WARNER-TAMERLANE PUBLISHING CORP; WB MUSIC CORP.; YTSE JAMS INC;    these lyrics are submitted by mta_mta
