Lyrics

The profane see the windmill, the saints see the wind. With love and hate and fear awake, we disappear within. Disappear within.

Out by the river where philosophers debate, the heavens are singing with rain upon the lake.

The profane see the windmill, the saints see the wind. With love and hate and fear awake, we disappear within. Disappear within.

The night begins to shiver, the shadows start to shake. The moon shifts, the sun eclipses, the painting fades away.

The profane see the windmill, the saints see the wind. With love and hate and fear awake, we disappear within. The profane see the windmill, the saints see the wind. With love and hate and fear awake, we disappear within.

The profane see the windmill, the saints see the wind. With love and hate and fear awake, we disappear within. Disappear within.
