Another literary reference, in my opinion. The torture and images of the children's voices and the chapel call to mind Brönte's "Wuthering Heights" and the tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw (or Linton) and Heathcliff, not as straightforwardly as Kate Bush's song of the same name, but it calls to mind the same story. I like the idea of St. Catherine as well, but I feel like the imagery of the woman in a chapel and on a hill is also reminiscent of Brönte's story and is one of a number of literary references in this album (notably Hawthorne, Salinger and the Bible and other more obscure ones I'm sure I've yet to notice).
