The storm came with a terrible wind

What a perfect night to change their lives

Outside they went with the lights still on 

Gathered around each other 

They waited for the ceremony to begin 

The girl stood dressed in white 

Terrified of her fate

The sacrifice had to be made 

In the eyes of the town 

Though the girl did not know why 

Her life would end before the morning light
