lyrics

You know there's gonna be a wedding
a promise older than time
everyone we love will be gathered all around
as the lovers twist like twine

it'll be such a joyous occasion
every tear will be dry
the past will be vanquished and laid in the dirt
as we look into our lover's eyes

water turned to wine
and wine turned to blood
a blood that can clean, release and redeem
so that two can be as one

all the fighting will finish
all the debts will be paid
for who can harbor anger sitting in a church
on their own wedding day

earth once shrouded in darkness
now pierced by a beckoning light
and to joyful peels of monastery bells
all will be made right

and the trees will sing hallelujah
and the earth shall give up it's dead
and we won't then remember this hell
as we're caught up to heaven instead
