Chapter 25 - Paul Morphy

Corpse Bride Paris 2 :)

As the boy put the ring on the lifeless root,

joyfully practicing for his wedding day,

A Black crow went " Caw Caw"

and the ground started to shake

As a skinless bride

rushed to his side

And excitedly said i do

And the boy, who was filled with fright,

fell to his never ending doom

When he awoke hes thought he was dreaming,

for what he say was unbelieving,

A sad and pitiful song was playing

and the dancing skeletons were singing

The boy now felt low and small

for he could not turn down the bride

as he weep in sorrow and guilt

he thought of his one true love

that he was never to see

The bride saw the loneliness in his eyes

and too felt guilty

for he was never going to be hers

so she persuaded him to go

back to his true love

As Emily turned into thousands of butterflies

her Spirit was finally set free

And victor, the boy,

was once again happy

for he was never again lonely.
