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
