lyrics

the ancients they sing the ballad of hiram
injected with a shadow serum
illuminating all that came before
revealed the mystery of nature and sciences
eastern stars and graveyard alliances
once to walk the sacred ground of kings
but they wade through the fire
back into the ash and pire
all the while they twist the prophets' words
they've been around the world
and they've seen kingdoms sublime
architects designs of cydonia
demons of the district columbia
hidden in this capitol of shame
the leopard's spots they mask all the sorrow
of freemason plots and endless tomorrows
the truest light of love is not therein
though they met on the level
though they part of the square
and feast on st. john's day
in 1723
