Desecrated Oaths

By Lord Kalgalath

++ around text indicates the priests words heard in the background :D
===========================================================


+let us bow our heads now in prayer+

why am i so calm?
i should be infuriated
my blood is on your palm
a deep wound youve dealt

+may these two young people have joy and harmony+

what were the words we said
a pack of lies from your forked tongue
you are the one who broke the Vow
you are the one who lacerated our love

+to have and to hold+

now i am lost
you were always my guiding light
someone i could depend on
my love

+Dearly beloved+

still i find no anger in me
and despite your betrayal
no hatred for you
but this i cannot let slide

+Ashes to ashes Dust to dusr+

I dont taste anything in my tea
But i was hoping we could work this out
no chance, youre leaving me....
have some more tea

+We commit these bodies to the earth+

so long ive loved you
scince first we met
way back when
remeber...

+and thier spirits to Heaven+

all i have ever wanted was you
everything i ever achieved was for you
you were my reason to BE
and if i cannot have you with me in life

Then let us rot in peices

+Amen+
