Soaked in the blood of love,
Drowned in the sparkling waters of happiness,
I've dug through the walls of despair,
Just to find you.
Now, soaked and drowned,
I know you are safe.
You are with me now,
For I will keep you that way.
The tinted shield of darkness is gone.
Now, a fluorescent light shines.
It's down upon you.
You are shining.
You are safe.
You are pure.
You are mine.
