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."
