Call It a Ritual

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well into the desert you 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

And you know

They will swing swing their swords for show

While you turn your flower petals so slow

You said the desert will eat us alive

I said i'll make the decisions you just drive

You just drive

And I saw the windmill wings were gone

And I heard the wind come creepin 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 petals so slow

But I am amazed at how they go

I am amazed at how they go

But I am amazed at how they go

I am amazed at how they go

But I am amazed at how they go

I am amazed at how they go

But I am amazed at how they go

I am amazed at how they go

But 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

You know

They will swing swing their swords for show
