The Death Bell Rings
Lean in and kiss me,
Tell me how much you love me,
Shower me with gifts,
And put nothing else above me.
Sacrifice for your paramour
And risk both life and limb.
Tell me I'm the only one
And love me til the end.
I pick you up when you fall down
And protect you when in danger.
I've risked my life for you
And you just leave me for a stranger?
There's no mercy for betrayal.
You'll suffer for what you've done.
I trusted you with everything,
Now you will pay in blood.
Tell me that you're sorry,
Tell me that you're scared,
Tell me it meant nothing
In hopes from consequence you're spared.
But there is no force in heaven
Nor in the pit of hell
That can hinder what is coming
When the Death Bell ominously knells.
Come to me, my love,
And I'll embrace you one last time
To feel the synchronicity
Of our heartbeats and that chime.
The Death Bell's ring grows louder
The closer I pull you in.
Before I pull you under
I must confess to my last sin:
I love you despite the evil
I could see beneath your skin,
Gave into the torrid obsession
That will burn forever within.
Now bound by bitter hatred
I bind you, too, in fetters
In a prison of your making
And leave you with a letter.
A letter and a lover
Is all that I will grant you.
Before the latch is sealed
For eternity, he and you
Will be dragged into the underworld
Buried alive inside this hole.
To rot together, you wretched lovers,
As the Death Bell loudly tolls.
