ripe

By Exodus




the night escapes your cynical bleeding
the breath, it reaches out to the sea
(wash me of my sins)
bow down to your king, of me.
and i bled the sanguine tide, she blessed
i've been tainted with your holy hand, my lord.
you've been infected by the blood of me
bow down



-you're dying for love-
-bounded by the blinding light-
-shes been pierced through the heart-
-by you and only-

    "You've been infected by the blood of me" has great and subtle rhythm... and everyone loves a "bow down." Shorter than your usual stuff, but just as strong.
