[VERSE 1]
E5 (play variants through verse)
Since the new world order played upon our fears
Spreading accusations of radical ideas
The brotherhood of wisdom: strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets remain a mystery

[PRE-CHORUS]
[F#] Beneath an ever w[G]atchful e[F#]ye, the angels of [G]the temple [F#]fly

[CHORUS]
[B5]Turn the key, walk th[A2]rough the gate
The g[G]reat ascent to r[D]each a h[A2]igher st[B5]ate
[A2] A rite of p[G]assage [F#]
The f[B5]inal stage; a s[A2]acred home
Unl[G]ock the door, and l[D]ay the c[A2]orners[B5]tone
[A2] A rite of p[G]assage [F#]

[VERSE 2]
[E5]Men of wealth and power, [D5]influence and fame
Phil[C5]osophers and leaders are m[B5]embers of the trade
[E5]Bound by oath and honor, l[D5]ike the rose and cross
An [C5]enigmatic union of [B5]esoteric thought

{Pre-chorus, Chorus}

{do whatever you want for the breakdown here, or nothing at all =]}

[FINAL CHORUS]
[B5]Turn the key, walk th[A2]rough the gate
The g[G]reat ascent to r[D]each a h[A2]igher st[B5]ate
[A2] A rite of p[G]assage [F#]
The s[B5]even stars, the r[A2]ising sun
A p[G]erfect world where n[D]ew life h[A2]as beg[B5]un
[A2] A rite of p[G]assage[F#]
