To the critics and the cynics who don't understand the lyrics
   To the atheists and the pessimists
   Wanting company in their darkness
   You may see me as a fool,yes,a charlatan,an egotist,
   But I'd rather be this in your eyes,
   Than a coward in His
  
   I began as Isis, the high Priestess
   My arms stretched to Sirius,me,the serpent Venus,
   Awaken the fetus,fertility to Jesus,
   Come and meet us (you are the seed in us)
  
   Looking within I can see beyond my sight
   The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
   I awake and die, I awake and I die, yeah
   This is the rhythm of life
  
   Next I was lightning, God energy fighting
   To tell my widow surviving, I was still alive in
   Another plane of life n' I struck hime seven times
   He finally looked to the sky,
   Shed a tear and joined me dying
  
   Looking within,I can see beyond my sight
   The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
   I awake and I die, I awake and I die, yeah
   This is the rhythm of life
   Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, this is the the rhythm of life
  
   Now I am me, in diffident lead,responsibility,
   Trying to face my fear,from the trailer park to hear
   Over mountains, through my death,
   From Harbinger to Amen.
   May my actions outweigh my words
   May my lifetime be of worth
  
   Looking within I can see beyond my sight
   The cities, the sky, the planets roll by
   I awake and I die, I awake and I die, yeah
   This is the rhythm of life
  
   All the worlds a stage,
   and all the men and women,
   merely players
   they have their exits,
   And their entrances
   And one man in his time.
   Plays many parts
