The Architect Masonic in Dawn of Creation

Across ages Priests and Sages bore thy mysteries and Isis as a type of lore. Moses learned wisdom to plan rescue for his people and the Promised Land. The Solymene temple's silent grandeur shows thy sacred altars and symbols of power. The tools and emblems guide thy disciples, spreading thy doctrines through time.
