Friends!  My time grows short –

welkinalauda:

Come the first of October, my sister shall wed.  

In the ceremony, I am to recite… something, and then, by the power vested in me by the State of California and the Internet, pronounce them married.

I need to come up with the thing to be recited, like, really soon now.  I suggested the second stanza of The Bells, and Forever Young, but they got that look, so I moved on.  (Various people, including me, suggested “Never Going to Give You Up” – which is at least suitable to a wedding – but it’s been generally agreed that a RickRoll is a last resort.)  My future sister-in-law grew up on heavy metal music, so they said I should find a metal lyric and recite that.

It’s just, metal tends more toward themes of “let’s fuck all night” and “why’d you break up with me?” than “together forever.”  And I don’t know the genre all that well.

Does anyone know a metal song that could be read as part of a wedding ceremony?
