Verse 1

We flew over the cascades

We were forced to behave while we sat

In rows like children

I crossed some standard state lines

And finally found myself so far away from home

And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,

Our bones were cold as sticks and stones

We flew over the cascades

Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known

Chorus

A7Sus4 D

The winds blew like a beast with wings

A7Sus4

And yes, everything was blown so far away

And I fell down

I failed to cut its neck

Verse 2

Even after hours of waiting

There was no telling when the storm would find its way

The lands we tried to memorize

We're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red

And through the night the storm held me down

And bit my neck and said it’d be okay

I stared into the fury

And the beauty of its overwhelming strength

Chorus

A7Sus4 D

The winds blew like a beast with wings

A7Sus4

And yes, everything was blown so far away

And I fell down

I failed to cut its neck

A7Sus4 Cadd9 A7Sus4 Cadd9 A7Sus4

Bridge

I saw a dim light

In the mouth of the beast

So I followed it in

A7Sus4

It's too late to retreat

It swallowed me whole

And my flesh became meat

Oh I can't look back now

Because the beast is complete

End

We flew over the cascades

We were forced to behave
