Intimate as a whisper
You played the loudest bell
I tasted salvation
When your defenses fell
I saw you in a new light
The past was rinsed away
A flower opens so slowly
So the fragrance it can stay
So thick that I can swim
So deep you take me in
Let your water cover me in a flood
Oh I want your blood in my blood
Let your water cover me in a flood
How I want your blood in my blood
At first your bones were shattered
You were blood covered and stained
But darling I could see you broken
And your beauty it still remained
So come in close to me
As close as two can be
I want you to come close
Do not be alarmed
This river to bring healing
It's never to harm
Let your water cover me in a flood
I want us to be closer than we ever knew we could
Let your water cover me in a flood
How I want your blood in my blood
