Foresworn

Dark hooded figures marching

Procession wreathed in jet

A sob escapes in horror

For someone newly lost

So heavy on his shoulders

Dark box of new laid pine

Its contents sacrifice to

A providence divine

This wounded fear unhinging

My scars like fire burning

Lovers in life

But what has changed

Your promise bound us to the grave

Awakened from my sleep

Embalmed but not forgotten

Your eyes go wide when you see

It’s no hallucination

And you will feel my touch again

Cold as the rain is wet

When we are are united in death

Why do you cringe in terror?

Your foresworn bride returns

Dark hand sends splinters flying

Thrown back the hood of death

He watches not believing

Alive she walks again

Dark hooded figures marching

A ghastly silhouette

She reaches out to touch him

His heart beats faster yet

This wounded fear unhinging

My scars like fire burning

Brought back to life

To stake my claim

Come follow me into our grave

Awakened from my sleep

Embalmed but not forgotten

Your eyes go wide when you see

It’s no hallucination

And you will feel my touch again

Cold as the rain is wet

When we are are united in death

Why do you cringe in terror

Your foresworn bride returns
