lyrics

Into a heart filled with thirst
Waiting to burst
You came
Into a mind filled with fear
Drowned in our tears
You came

Pours down from above
Bathe me in your love
Bathe me in your love

Into a dark and loveless soul
Clenched in a hole
You came
Into a life awaiting the light
Cloaked in the night
You came

Pours down from above
Bathe me in your love
Bathe me in your love

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
