lyrics

Music is a gateway
A gateway to power
Observe the sacred chants
Upon this holy hour
The words of power command
The ritual garb is donned
The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that

urge us on

As it was so it shall be
What once existed becomes again
The past taking root within the present
Again and again and again

The seven judges that surround and guide
A soul through its journey
Around you now abide
Take a moment to recognize their faces
Seemingly different people with familiar traces

The language of deceased is the voice I wish to speak
To tell you the secrets of aged centuries past
Familiar scenes within a collective unconscious
They burn in minds and in time

Behold the door
Through this portal must pass
Each spirit as it seeks its way
Then reborn back to the dead

Another plane of nonmaterial existence
Is not remembered but in flashes until its reentry

Music is a gateway
A gateway to power
Observe the sacred chants
Upon this holy hour
The words of power command
The ritual garb is donned
The herbs are burned and chalice filled with spirits that

urge us on

As it was so it shall be
What once existed becomes again
The past taking root within the present
