From the recording Illumination of True Masonry
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the darkness, we find the gate
A passage to the unknown, where we await
The death of the old, the birth of the new
A resurrection of the soul, that's waiting for you
([Whispers]) Just as Hiram Abiff, the master fell
A sacrifice, that would forever tell
(Chorus)
We're the initiates, of a higher way
A journey through the darkness, to a brighter day
We're the free builders, of our own design
Crafting our destiny, with a purpose that's divine
(Pre-Drop)
Can we face the darkness, and find the light?
Can we rise above, and take flight?
(Drop 1)
Like Lazarus, we rise from the dead
A new life awaits, where our spirit is fed
The lamb's sacrifice, a symbol of our past
A reminder of the journey, that will forever last
([Reverb]) We're not just builders, we're the architects of our fate
Creating our own path, with a purpose that waits
(Verse 2)
The fellow craft, a bond that's strong
A community of seekers, where we all belong
We're cultivating our crafts, with a passion that's true
A unique expression, of the divine that's in us too
([Soft echoes]) We're not just masons, we're the free builders of our soul
Knowing, not guessing, the truth that makes us whole
(Chorus)
We're the masters, of our own design
A journey of self-discovery, where we redefine
The meaning of life, and the power of death
A new perspective, that's our ultimate breath
(Bridge)
In the stillness, we find our voice
A whispered truth, a heartfelt choice
To walk the path, of the initiate's way
And find the freedom, that's our ultimate day
(Verse 3)
We're the free builders, of our own fate
Creating our own path, with a purpose that's great
We're not bound, by the chains of the past
We're the masters, of our own destiny at last
([Resonating echoes]) We're the ones, who know the truth
A knowledge that's beyond, mere mortal youth
(Pre-Drop 2)
Can we rise above, and find our way?
Can we build a bridge, to a brighter day?
(Drop 2)
We're the initiates, of a higher way
A journey of self-discovery, that's here to stay
We're the free builders, of our own design
Crafting our destiny, with a purpose that's divine
([Reverb]) We're the masters, of our own fate
Creating our own path, with a purpose that's great
(Outro Finale)
In the light, we find our way
A brighter tomorrow, a new day
The journey's long, but we're not alone
With every step, we find our way back home.
