Rituals

When words have been repeated
Chosen and refined
When spoken I am one of many
Linked in space and time

Tradition has engraved them
Upon every culture of the world
Our rituals unite us

They may have been misused
We've sacrificed our own
To our unholy rituals

Some I like just fine
Like the toasting of you and me
I raise my glass and wish you well
'Til once again we meet

In birth and life, in troubles and pain
In love and joy we gather again
Every measure of time, on the day that I die
I'll raise my glass again

In birth and life, in troubles and pain
In love and joy we gather again
Every measure of time, on the day that I die
I'll raise my glass again

Our rituals unite us
Like the patterns of a drum
A polyrhythmic web of life
Interwoven as one

Rituals bring reverence
To each important time
Our swords are left out at the door
As we gather kind with kind

In birth and life, in troubles and pain
In love and joy we gather again
Every measure of time, on the day that I die
I'll raise my glass again

In birth and life, in troubles and pain
In love and joy we gather again
Every measure of time, on the day that I die
I'll raise my glass again

In birth and life, in troubles and pain
In love and joy we gather again
Every measure of time, on the day that I die
I'll raise my glass again

I'll raise this glass again
