"Gale" lyrics

Peter brought flowers to Margaret's estate
Fresh in the backpack she bought him
Left his surmises at the river way
Tonight we will breathe in the autumn

Flesh on her flesh, fingers interlocking
Command him to do as she taught him
Tongue in the psalms of her gentle terrain
Deprave him so she can absolve him

Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away

The townspeople started speaking in tongues
No one knew what they were saying
An effigy big as the moon overhead
Welled up, descended upon them

Slowly mutating, metamorphosing
A creature so luminous, shining
Conjured a terror, a beauty so deep
A silent, celestial knowing

Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
Then came a gale

Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away

Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
Then came a gale and blew it all away
Then came a gale and blew it away
