A Rite of Passage Lyrics

Lyric discussion by The Letter M 

Cover art for A Rite of Passage lyrics by Dream Theater

"Of radical fears" sounds like "Of radical ideas" to me.

Also, it sounds like it should be "Bound by oath and honor" rather than "Bound by open honor" and "esoteric thought" (not thoughts).

Great analysis LittlePrincezz!

I wonder if they'll cut the whole instrumental section out for the single... sounds like they could the way the riff plays before and after it.
