Two hearts joined as one

Bound together for eternity,

In holy matrimony they stand

Blessed by one

Hated by all.

A tragic story

like Romeo & Juliet,

Of hate and love

Life and death,

Peace and rivalry.

Two brothers

Separated by the hate

Of their parents

Fall for a love struck beauty.

This fair maiden

Picks the one of her heart

The enemy, the villain

The one not chosen for her

Rage fills inside the heart

Of the abandoned

As he watches the love

Spread between the pair.

His eyes as red as the devil

And his heart as black as coal

"This isn't the end," he says,

He hasn't lost yet.

So as the days go by

He devises a plan

The plan to defeat his demon

And retrieve his angel.

"Marry me," he tells her one night

"Marry me and he shall live,

Refuse me and send your lover

To his grave,"

She's nervous, she's panicked

She knows not what to do

Betray her lover and save him,

Or give him up to death

Those are the choices

And she can only pick one

Hate for life

Or love for death

Now she stands at the altar

Sad and broken

She chose him

She betrayed her lover

She kissed the devil.

He hates her now

Her Romeo

He hates her

Body and soul

He stops the wedding

Faces his love

And shoots her in her heart.

His brother kneels down weeping

Clutching his corpse bride

He faces her killer

And confesses to all,

He tells of his plan

Her choice,

His promise to spare him.

Dear Romeo now stands

Shocked and dismayed,

She did it to save him

She did it for love

And he killed her, shot her

Right in her loving heart.

He looks his brother in the eye,

"You caused this," he said.

"We both did, and neither

One of us deserves to live,"

Says his brother.

"Your right,"

BANG

A shot to the head

Now his brother is dead!

But wait, Romeo bleeds as well.

A shot to the chest,

He should of known

His brother would have

A gun by his breast.

He falls to the ground

But he's not down yet

Slowly, painfully

He crawls to his dearest,

He holds her tight

Whispering sweet words of love.

He places one last kiss

On her rosy red lips

Then dies slowly, happily

With Juliet in his arms.
