The secrecy in which they buried their Mysteries, had that end. Those to whom they were confided, bound themselves, by the most fearful oaths, never to reveal them. They were not allowed even to speak of these important secrets with...

Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.
First, the Greeks expected that if the Earth moved then we would feel a constant wind blowing against us, and we would be swept off our feet as the ground raced from under us. However, we feel no such constant...

Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free? A birth of a song, a death of a dream - Closer to the edge
I know we're not everlasting - We're a train wreck waiting to happen
Lift me up - Give me strength to press on
He said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?"
You who choose to lead must follow, but if you fall, you fall alone
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Now, she's gone round and round inside of my head - I think I'm just a little too close to the edge
Like a madman laughin' at the rain - A little out of touch, little insane - It's Just easier than dealin' with the pain
For long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide - And balanced on the biggest wave, you race towards an early grave
With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us
Choke me in the shallow water, before I get too deep
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Mind is a battlefield, all hope is gone - Trouble to the right and left - Whose side you're on?
Gotta another theory you want me to hear? Taking your refuge in your reason, just to beat the fear that we don't know why we're here
Been dreaming of this since a child - I'm on top of the world
Waiting for the end to come - Wishing I had strength to stand
The more I stray the less I fear, and the more I reach the more I fade away
If Columbus was wrong, I'd drive straight off the edge
There is a road, no simple highway - Between the dawn and the dark of night - And if you go, no one may follow - That path is for your steps alone
Well, I met an old man dying on a train, no more destination, no more pain - Well he said one thing before I graduate, 'Never let your fear decide your fate'
We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air, like we're holding onto something that's invisible there - 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear, until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear
All the hurt, all the lies, All the tears that they cried - When the moment is just right, You'll see fire in their eyes, 'Cause he's stronger than you know - A heart of steel starts to grow
'Round here, we always stand up straight
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about - Watching some good friends screaming, “let me out“
