A beautiful, demented, take on death & marriage.
Dark Alternative
We started out in 2005, as a two-piece, me and a friend, I played rhythm guitar and he was on drums. We started writing music and then I got my brother to join on bass. At the time we were called Strych9 and then we got our lead guitarist and vocalist after which we changed our name to Arc of the Fallen Angel and then finally to Saints of the Fallen.
The band broke up and now this is just a moniker for myself, I go by St.Fallen.
Story behind the song
This song is written about death
And marriage
It's not the usual thoughts
It's basically this guy sick of the world
But he's in love, and he wants to be with her forever
So he proposes to her, but instead of asking her to marry him, he asks her to kill herself along with him, so that they would be together forever.
Lyrics
I'm a pale distortion of what's inside, but in your eyes,
I'm incandescent and I can't hide.
If it's till death do us part, I hope we don't die alone,
'cause I can't stand the thought of you not being around.
So can we die tonight?
Take our vows & take our lives,
We'll set sail into the night,
We'll find our haven out of sight.
It seems the seams that hold us together are withering,
I'll put them back together again.
We're covered in scars from all our fights,
We'll cover them up and start new life.
Far out of sight, we'll start new life,
Just you & I & after.
So can we die tonight?
Take our vows & take our lives,
Leave this world to its plight,
We'll make our own world in time.
In the middle of it all,
We'll have our own share of thoughts,
Dubious to what we want,
Can we see through this?
And then we'll set sail into the night,
And maybe find our haven in the skies,
Far out of sight, we'll start new life,
The ever after, you & I,
And with this ring I wed thee,
To cyanide and sweet dreams,
Eternity and promises to keep,
And flights with mended wings.
So can we die tonight?
Take our vows & take our lives,
We'll set sail into the night,
We'll find our haven out of sight.
So can we die tonight?
Take our vows & take our lives,
Leave this world to its plight,
We'll make our own world in time.
So can we die tonight?
Take our vows & take our lives,
Leave here hand in hand,
Then we'll spread our wings & take our flight.
We'll exchange cyanide rings,
They'll give us wings so we can fly,
So we can fly away,
We can fly,
Can we fly - away?
I'm a pale distortion of what's inside.
