Circle Takes the Square – Ritual Of Names Lyrics 15 years ago
can't wait another day, month, year, whatever for this album!!!!

i think this song is, at least in part, about the satanic/illuminati conspiracy to enslave mankind and globalize all nations.

they keep talking about the light/twilight
"now overhead the stars that guided our forebears have turned to dust
and underfoot the churning framework of this earth succumbs to rust
bring forth the light"
the constitution and simple liberties have rusted in the so called "war against terror," and they need to be restored by the twilight/white hats opposing the ill will of the satanic illuminati/criminal elite

"...so i'm following stardust
what's left of the twilight
to get to that last jagged line
to the edge of the earth by the date of my birth
after 26 years I'm reclaiming what's mine."
i think this is an allusion to the fact that each person born has a trust fund worth $1 million+ at birth (which compounds interest for each year you survive) that is stolen upon the filing/endorsement of the barcode on the "certificate of live birth," which is a product of the u.s. statutory law opposing the framework of the constitution, which was intended to be common law. when you willingly accept the "ritual of names (specifically names w/ caps)," and admit to being this fictional citizen to the corporate states of america, you thereby forego your right as a sovereign entity to claim what is rightfully yours, that which has been stolen from you by the criminal elite.

"we post colonies overlooking the abyss
where we share the dream of the dispossessed"
we share the dream of those who have been robbed of what is rightfully theirs/their trust fund.

"let the lifelong procession of shadow commence
this is the start of something; here begins:
the end of the greatest lie
henceforth, i deny that i exist"
the only way to not admit to being a corporate fiction is to deny the existence of the fiction.
to me, this is the only thing that makes sense from the inherent contradiction between the optimism of line two and the nihilism of line four in this stanza

given my bleak view of the current state of affairs and the fact that i love CTTS, i think this song is the most brilliant piece of art i have ever witnessed
