Exploring themes of betrayal, temptation, and spiritual conflict, "Black Wedding" delves into the complex interplay between sacred vows and human frailty. Through a dialogue that alternates between a penitent and a priest, the lyrics poignantly express the anguish of unfulfilled promises and moral dilemmas. The recurring phrase "nice night for a black wedding" symbolizes a union marred by darker undertones—suggesting that what should have been pure has been tainted. This juxtaposition serves as a powerful metaphor for internal struggles and the consequences of succumbing to temptation, framed within the context of a ceremonial commitment turned somber.
Black Wedding
Lyrics
Priest are you there?
Can you hear my voice?
Do you hear my prayers?
Are you out there?
Forgive me priest
For I have sinned (I know not what I do)
Mother I am here, I can hear your song
I can feel your fear, he's done you wrong
Temptation fed, his own desires
In the ring of fire (in the ring of fire)
Tonight
I would've loved you for a thousand years
I would've died for you
I would've sacrificed it all my dear
I would've bled for you
'Til death do us part
You were unholy right from the start
It's a nice night for a black wedding
Yeah it's a nice night for a black wedding
I heard your cry and I just knew
I never meant to forsake you
Mother there's no reason to repent (You know not what you do)
I heard the bells and I just knew
An angel once, now a ghost of you
Deliver me from my own desires
From my ring of fire (the ring of fire)
Tonight
I would've loved you for a thousand years
I would've died for you
I would've sacrificed it all my dear
I would've bled for you
'Til death do us part
You were unholy right from the start
It's a nice night for a black wedding
Yeah, it's a nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Come on!
I would've loved you for a thousand years
I would've died for you
I would've sacrificed it all my dear
I would've bled for you
'Til death do us part
You were unholy right from the start
It's a nice night for a black wedding
Yeah it's a nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
Nice night for a black wedding
In my name shall they cast out demons
They shall speak in new tongues
They shall take up serpents
And if they drink any deadly poison
It shall in no wise hurt them
They shall lay hands on the sick
And they shall recover
The serpent is only brought into the Holy Sanctum
And only handled
If the Holy Ghost
Of the Holy Spirit
Speak directly to the Disciple
