Well, into the desert we must go So into the desert we go Call it a ritual Call it whatever you will And you will grow out of me As naturally as branches from a tree Call it a ritual Call it whatever you will But you know they will swing Swing their swords for show While you turn your flower pedals so slow You said the desert will eat us alive I said I make the decisions You just drive You just drive And I saw the windmill raise from the ground And I heard the wind come creeping around Call it an act of easy mercy To tear the structure down Call it whatever you will Call it whatever you will 'Cause you know they will swing Swing their swords for show While you turn your flower pedals so slow But I am amazed at how they go I am amazed at how they go I am amazed at how they go So call it whatever you will Call it a ritual Call it whatever you will 'Cause you know they will swing Swing their swords for show
