Take This Oath
Embracing Freedom: The Oath to Liberation
Lyrics
Abandon the safety of mindless following
Encourages abandoning unquestioning conformity.
Abandon what holds us captive to suffering
Encourages breaking free from things causing suffering.
Pierce the blinders, behold
Encourages removing limitations and seeing clearly.
The path that leads before you
Directs attention to the path ahead.
Let us forsake, forsake all the things
Advocates giving up detrimental influences.
That leads us, leads to our demise
Warns against choices leading to destruction.
Open your eyes
Calls for awareness and perception.
See the divine
Suggests recognizing something divine or profound.
Open your eyes
Reiterates the call to open one's eyes.
And see the
Introduces an incomplete thought.
Destruction of innocence

Watch it breathe it's last
Depicts witnessing the end of innocence.
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
Reiterates the call to see the path clearly.
See the divine (forsake our demise)
Reiterates the call to forsake destructive paths.
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)

And see the
Completes the thought from line 11, suggesting revelation.
Abandon the safety of mindless following
Repeats the call to abandon mindless conformity.
To the grave we take this oath
Declares a commitment to a grave oath.
To leave this world behind
Expresses a willingness to leave the world behind.
Hear the words of the voice
Encourages listening to the inner voice.
That lives inside
Highlights the source of the inner voice.
Break free, this is your time
Urges breaking free and embracing one's time.
Break, this is your time
Reiterates the call to break free and seize the moment.

Repeats the call to break free.
