lyrics

VI. The Nightmare

The Writhing Damned:
...Blood, Blood...

Fiancée:
Blood on your hands
Blood on my dress
The wedding party
Is a bloody mess

A knife in your hands
A smile on your face
As you cut up the guests
and the wedding cake
The rings are razors
The flowers are poisoned
There're hands at the throats
Of all the little boys and
Girls are screaming
Men twitch at the spine
There's blood in the water
And blood in the wine

Fiancée & A Chorus of Demons:
…Blood, Blood…

Fiancée:
Blood in the streets
Guts in the gutter
The sky turns a deep dark red
And I shudder
To think of the words
That you said to me:
How after today
We'll always be
Together
And it scares the life out of me
Together
Yes it scares the life out of me
And then blood, blood pours out of your eyes
The parson is Lucifer's shrouded disguise
The church is in flames
While the wedding bells chime
There's hundreds of screams
And silence...

Fiancée & A Million Cackling Wraiths:
…Blood, Blood
