The Rivers of Belief

Enigma · MCMXC A.D. (Limited)

Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend

I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I promise you
I will return

And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal
silence covered the sky

Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend

I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I'm reaching out for you
Lets hope one day
We'll rest in peace
on my rivers of belief
