Deep within, beneath the flesh
A fire burns inside you.
A sacred flame, a beacon

Calling you to all that's true
If it is extinguished
Then a lonely man you are

For though you'll walk with thousands
You'll stand up for nothing.


Humankind is good
And humankind is evil
A vessel for god

And a playground for the devil
As you learn to measure
Pain against pleasure

Your heart will awaken
To the golden dawn


We all have our share of sorrow
When life disappoints us
But the hope for a better tomorrow

Is an island of light
In an unfathomed sea of darkness


Hold on to the truth
And protect that flame
Golden dawn portends

An even brighter day
Be a student of the word
Let your voice be heard

And on your dying day
You'll look back and say,
"i lived what i believed,

Built a life with what i received,
Forgive me my sins,
Heaven let me in."
