Undying Love.

The wedding bells ring loudly out for all the world to hear
 
She stood before her husband to a choir of ghostly cheer
 
The ring upon her finger sparkled bright in pale moon light
 
The dusty bones beneath her dress concealed extinguished life
 
He lifts the veil to look upon her once enchanting face
 
A bony kiss from absent lips a warm undead embrace
 
Vows of love eternal are exchanged till death do part
 
The father gives his blessings by the echo of their hearts
 
The ruins of the chapel where they stood in days gone by
 
Watches over fallen lovers, laid to rest both side by side
 
A wedding day that should have been the sweetest of them all
 
A wedding day that never was as lovers came to fall.
 
Year by year the ghostly bride and groom vacate their grave
 
Determined to accomplish what in life could not be saved
 
The ruins of the chapel where they never said their vows
 
Will forever hold the secrets of the day when love fell down
 
Truest love between them taken down by cruellest fate
 
Will not stop the undead lovers find a way to celebrate.
