Vow (x) Death
[Intro: dark harsh voice] "Your vows carried a debt. And so tonight... I'm here to collect." [Verse 1] We're dressed in black for the occasion, with mascara running down our face. We wait to speak our vows, to be carved into our tombstones. My time, shortened, (an unspoken union). Here 'Death' waits, as we stand close to the edge. My heart stopped beating, I've waited patiently. I'd trade my soul again, but time is truly unkind. I'd like to remember my remaining time that i spent with her. But even 'death' not that kind. Oh-hey, i guess nothing ever last forever. So, as we stand here on the wedding aisle’s, I can't keep a hold. It's a payment that's due, so I plead for more time. For you I'd fade away, into deaths loving embrace. [Hook] I can’t rewrite the ledger with sweet words. [drop] If you want to live again, which one is willing to die in their stead— No contract, no extra time. One must give up, while the other weeps. So, who will it be? and who will be set free? [Verse 2] I reach for your veil, cold to the touch— A bride of silence, yet I beg you to speak. Can love not sway you? can you not delay? I’ve stitched my soul to hers, don’t let it be for nothing. Let me borrow one more day, just for one more dance, A flicker of warmth in your busy schedule. I'll pay you what's due, just right now it's years I’ll never reclaim, But you said no words, not in shame. She still waits in the chapel of dreams, Where vows echo louder than screams. Don’t seal your fate with a kiss, oh how so cruel— Let me live this moment, even if you have to break the rules. [Hook] I can’t rewrite the ledger with sweet words. [drop] If you want to live again, which one is willing to die in their stead— No contract, no extra time. One must give up, while the other weeps. So, who will it be? and who will be set free? [Breakdown: dark harsh voice] You barter love for coin. You think love will undo what's been set? I’m not moved by your confessions— This contract set in stone, i have no regrets. [Bridge: dark harsh voice] So, marry beneath the sky— One must vow their final breath. Which of you walk into the night, to wear the wedding dress of death? [Outro Hook] I can’t rewrite the ledger with sweet words. [drop] If you want to live again, which one is willing to die in their stead— No contract, no extra time. One must give up, while the other weeps. So, who will it be? and who will be set free?
