White Wedding Day

Her dress is covered in soot
Her veil is covered in ashes
Her dress is not white or cream, let the record show.
She is being redeemed despite past offenses,
Her soul is set free from bondage, her heart learns to dance.
She lay with the world, now the groom lays with it as well
A million served plus one, all satisfied customers.
Special day but in fact it is your salvation,
All things are possible by wearing that dress.
A fish can not learn to fly but a whore can learn to be
A proper wife
Past mistakes vanish under her skirt,
Rumors forever silenced with the exchange of rings.
She stands proudly on top of the wedding cake
Little figurines with nothing to hide!
Who sings for the bride of Babylon?
Her doom and destruction already foretold,
not she is destined for reconstruction.
The soot washed away, and she was made clean again
What a sight to behold,
The town door knob can finally open the door to
her glory and start new again
Walls that were once destroyed by war are built back up again,
protecting her soul
Respect is her middle name and she finally knows what it is.
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white
Just how it was meant to be from the beginning.
