Initiation (Live - Back to the Bars)

[Verse 1]
Power changes hands in the unseen worlds
'Cause in '75 something comes alive
Watch the silver cup and the golden rod
Silently listen and it shall be revealed

I was born to fly higher
Born to stand where I'm standing now
Basking in the light of the neon fire
As it burns my useless body to the ground

[Chorus 1]
Desire let me go
I would fly so high through the sky, never to die
Whoa, whoa
Love has come, love has come
Inside outside, it shall be revealed

[Verse 2]
Brilliant stars splash down across a crystal sky
And the moon and the sun and the earth are one
See the shining soul break the ring-pass-not
Spiraling upward and it shall be revealed

[Chorus 2]
The spirit is free
The universe wants it to be, it calls you and me
Love has come, love has come
Over under, it shall be revealed

[Verse 3]
When the bells ring out
And the fire burns within and without
Initiation
When your star grows bright
And fills all of the world with it's light
Unification

[Chorus 3]
Swallow your pride, you don't need it no more
You don't need to hide, all I am is only one more
Standing at the door
Waiting for the world's initiation

[Verse 4]
Thunder roar and the lightning crack
Snakes of fire dance up and down my back
A long, long road is behind me now
Too late to be afraid of the choice that I have made

[Chorus 4]
But there's one thing I know
Where my spirit says to go
You know that's where I must go
Love has come, love has come
Inside outside, it shall be revealed

[Verse 5]
When the golden ray
Of the dawn signifies a new day
Initiation
And when loves grows strong
And the spheres join together in song
Unification

[Chorus 5]
Swallow your pride, you don't need it no more
You don't need to hide, all I am is
Only one more, then shut the door
Waiting for the world's initiation

[Synthesizer and guitar solos]

[Verse 3]
When the bells ring out
And the fire burns within and without
Initiation
When your star grows bright
And fills all of the world with it's light
Unification

[Chorus 3 abridged]
Only one more
Standing at the door
Waiting for the world's initiation

Love has come, love has come
Love has come, love has come
It shall be revealed
