[Verse 1]
Black veil
Over battle-bruised eyes
Lipstick
The color of last night’s demise
Bouquet of skulls
Dragging grooves in the floor
She carves my name
In the back of the morgue door
[Chorus]
She’s the grim bride
Walking down my spine
Every vow she whispers
Cancels out my life
Cold hands on my heartbeat
Nails of sharpened ice
She’s the grim bride
And I’m the sacrifice (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Ribcage rosary
Clacking as she laughs
Blood-wet lace
Trailing over epitaphs
She hums my sins
Like a wedding hymn
Every word a razor
Kissing bone and skin
[Chorus]
She’s the grim bride
Walking down my spine
Every vow she whispers
Cancels out my life
Cold hands on my heartbeat
Nails of sharpened ice
She’s the grim bride
And I’m the sacrifice (die!)
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to tom-heavy march]
Do you take this death
To be your end?
Do you take this void
As your only friend?
She lifts the scythe
Like a shattered crown
Says
“’Til decay do us part”
And cuts me down
[Chorus]
She’s the grim bride
Walking down my spine
Every vow she whispers
Cancels out my life
Cold hands on my heartbeat
Nails of sharpened ice
She’s the grim bride
And I’m the sacrifice (grim bride)
She’s the grim bride
And I’m the sacrifice
