Till Death Due Us Part

[Intro]
[soft piano
Harp arpeggios
Distant violin]
Two hands in the dark
Two names in a war-torn heart
Shadows swear an oath
Over broken stone
[Verse 1]
[Male]
I was born to a vengeful crown
Iron prayers
A bloodstained town
You were roses on the rival side
Smiling like a secret I should hide
[Pre-Chorus]
[M & F]
Every law
Every line
Draws a blade
Across our spine
If we run
If we stay
Love is still
A price to pay
[Chorus]
[M & F]
Till death due us part
We write our vow in scarlet
Let the heaviest fate
Come crashing where we stand
If they tear us apart
We'll carve our names in starlight
Two defiant hearts
Held in a single hand
Till death
Till death due us part
[Verse 2]
[Female]
They toast to your falling name
Raise their cups to curse my face
But your whispered "live or die with me"
Burns louder than their legacy
[M & F
Call and response]
(M) If we drink
(F) If we bleed
(M) Are we lost?
(F) Or finally freed?
(M) Close your eyes
(F) Take my hand
(M) One last breath
(F) One last stand
[Chorus]
[M & F]
Till death due us part
We write our vow in scarlet
Let the heaviest fate
Come crashing where we stand
If they tear us apart
We'll carve our names in starlight
Two defiant hearts
Held in a single hand
Till death
Till death due us part
[Bridge]
[violin and piano swell
Then full band enters]
[M & F
Alternating then unison]
Poison on my tongue
(Still I call your name)
Candles burning down
(But the flame's the same)
We fall
We fade
Yet the story stays
Written in the walls
Of their ruined hate
[Breakdown]
[choir and strings]
Their houses crumble
Stone by stone
Our love the echo in their bones
They choke on all the oaths they swore
We walk together through that door
[Final Chorus]
[key change
Big harmony]
[M & F]
Till death due us part
Is just the start of forever
Let them bury our bones
They can’t bury our command
From the grave
From the stars
We still rise up together
Two immortal hearts
Bound in a rebel brand
Till death
Till death due us part
(Till death)
Till death due us part
