• (I, take you, to be my lawfully wedded partner, to have and to cherish from this day forward.)

    A little trouble, just as brittle
    As the ice that never falters
    Reflecting light upon the altar
    A promise to the cruelness
    (In sickness and in health)

    A slicing sound is so enticing
    It draws me deeper to the end
    Regretting every moment spent
    On family ties and worthless lies
    (In joy and in sorrow)

    This bitter night is fouled by our litter
    Your eyes sweep all around
    Making not a single sound
    Regressing to a sight that's so depressing
    (For better or for worse)

    I stand by myself, but see a night so grand
    And then I laugh and shake my head
    Wishing I had planned ahead
    The sweetest taste is left for the starving artist
    (For richer or poorer)

    One small spark of flame, kindled in this sick game
    With one quick puff, the fire's gone
    Your haggard face is worn and drawn
    You cry and leave those empty arms to dry
    (To love and to cherish)

    You spat onto the floor, to me you say," Nevermore."
    And I turn my head and smile
    A pealing laugh that turns to bile
    Your footsteps echo deeper, while your heart is growing weaker
    (From this day forward)

    Soaked with blood, caked in mud
    The body's found, wearing not a thing
    But that twisted wedding ring
    And then I laugh and laugh and laugh at the past
    (Until death do us part.)

    (Do you swear to live together for all eternity?)
