Song Lyrics

"Ceremony"

by Saviour Machine
Album: Saviour Machine II

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, (within this ceremony)
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 destroyed,
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, (begins the ceremony)
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, (release this ceremony)
To give the Son of Man his day, to roll away the stone and rise to the throne,
In awaited resurrection, the ceremony rites.
