Lyrics
Forced to participate tradition this right of passage
Has claimed the blood of countless adolescents
Rebirthed into this veil of adulthood
Cuts from head to toe their life force flows
The bloodthirst sated
(These boys will wager their own lives)
The elder at the ceremony prepares he's knife
He cuts (you must be willing to die)
He cuts to be inducted as a man
He cuts, you must be willing die
He cuts, prove your mettle while he strips your skin
Draped in robes of wool, initiated they shall endure
(Filth seeps in their skin) now acknowledge by elder kin
(Stripped of their old cloth) now it burns and smoke comes forth
Dehydrated the healing begins endure the rite and now bleed
Tradition has taken hold and is blurring the lines of our ignorance
Dehydrated the healing begins endure the rite and now bleed
Tradition has taken hold and is blurring the lines of our ignorance
You must be willing to die
He cuts to be inducted as a man
Bathed in our forefathers blood the endless cycle has no intent of being erased
We will bury our past and begin anew
We must uphold tradition
The right to be known amongst the clan as an adult has to be earned by your drive
Forsake who you once wear and shed your essence rise to the standards we've placed before you
Draped in robes of wool, initiated they shall endure
(Filth seeps in their skin) now acknowledge by elder kin
(Stripped of their old cloth) now it burns and smoke comes forth
(This will be the last) you'll ever see your foolish past
Judgment, judgment, you will be exiled defaced, you will be judged
For your transgressions you will not be seen as a threat nor man
Judgment, judgment, you will be exiled defaced, you will be judged
For your transgressions have not been met with the grace of the tribe
Judgment, judgment, you will be exiled defaced, you will be judged
