INTRO Her veil is a cathedral shadow, smothering the sun The stained glass saints avert their eyes as she comes Red lantern eyes, aflame like condemned constellations Iron bells toll behind her ribs where a heart once lived She carries vows carved in bone and war hymns in her breath Bride of ruin, bride of hunger, bride of the quiet end VERSE I They dressed her in black lace that drank the torchlight Her hands cold, ringed in silver forged for graves She treads the altar where kingdoms end in ash No choir dares to sing her name, yet all recognize it A covenant sealed in blood thicker than oceans A promise older than gods, older than dawn VERSE II She does not call for mercy She does not ask for grace Her silence is a blade Her presence is a reckoning CHORUS I Doom Bride — walk the aisle of the dying world Doom Bride — kiss the flame that never warms Doom Bride — crowned in the hush before collapse Doom Bride — lover of endings, sovereign of last breaths Doom Bride — no groom survives her love Doom Bride — veil woven of centuries of sorrow Doom Bride — we kneel, and we are undone Doom Bride — we are yours at the end VERSE III She descends like winter through an unguarded door Her kiss is smoke rising from a city consumed Her touch is the bell that tolls for everyone Her devotion is absolute annihilation VERSE IV The candles gutter when she breathes The pews crack under the weight of her vow The moon dims to honor her coronation The wolves cease their howling outside The river halts its own current Even time kneels at her feet CHORUS II Doom Bride — the rosary of extinction sings Doom Bride — the earth bends beneath her step Doom Bride — the stars wane in her reflection Doom Bride — red eyes, altar of the last rite Doom Bride — patron saint of the forsaken Doom Bride — voice like storm-drowned bells Doom Bride — devotion carved in ruin Doom Bride — take the world in your arms BRIDGE Her wedding march is thunder over mass graves Her bouquet is nightshade braided with ashes Her vows echo through cathedrals of bone Lightning crowns her like a prophecy fulfilled The sky splits so the world may kneel The seam of reality frays beneath her heels No god protests — all have already surrendered History rewrites itself in her silhouette The last hymn ever sung will bear her name And silence shall wear her ring CHORUS III Doom Bride — beloved of the final hour Doom Bride — black veil of destiny Doom Bride — we gather to be unmade Doom Bride — take us gently into the dark Doom Bride — whisper our names to the void Doom Bride — forever and never, amen OUTRO The candles drown in their own wax The stained glass saints weep molten color The pews are empty, but she remains The world exhales one last time A hush like snowfall over tombstones Her footsteps echo into eternity No wedding feast, no choir, no witnesses Only the quiet dignity of endings She does not look back For the end has already begun
