To Death Betrothed Lyrics - Chalice

Her mind engulfed with loathsome thoughts,the devil and dismay 

The burden of lifes' theatre and the stage on which we play 

Autumnal sun, no peace upon that burning, pale skin 

Frustration writhes around her yet the pain, it writhes within 

Amidst the roaming clouds her seething feelings slowly burn 

In knowing that he placed above all others shan't return 

For time will pass and never shall he come again to grace 

The wondrous glow he once professed to see upon her face 

To death betrothed 

Her union now a myriad of lies 

As dry in every way as burning sands 

In midnights' cover he covets another 

The all alluring vesper lover 

Left every grain to filter through her hands 

Alone again to reminisce of when her eyes were privy 

To the grandeur that is morn of every day 

Resplendent still, she walks in ghostly mists of those betrayed 

To mourn encroaching dusk and self decay 

To fade as light into the night, forever incomplete 

Alone to watch the spectrum turning gray
