Funny that... Your own wedding and they dress you in black. Stunning they say. Sunken more like. Handing your heart over, clutching it real tight in your palms, Prepare to give it away To Death: your love. Your lover - the crimson reaper The skeletal devil, the hooded redeemer. Shouldn't have done it You whisper, as you walk up the aisle. Too late for regrets. Hooded redeemer waits for you, Smile on his broken lips, he's been waiting so long for such a celebration. Best day of his life. But think back and is it yours? The moment he touches your heart it becomes ice. You realise the end is nigh, hold out your hand to the loved ones but they turn away. Sirens sound aloud and now it's the end. Broken up, out of luck, where do you turn? Sigh... What a dreamer...
