A new beginning is set in Anabel and Matthias's life.
On a warm spring's day he will take her to be his wife.
Anabel's friends wish her marriage to thrive.
Matthias's family is there too, to bless the heavenly ties.

On the aisle she walks to her lover's smiles,
Alone in her white dress with the day's mellifluous rhymes.

For Anabel's tale is of a tragic kind.
She lived with her family, mother, father, siblings five.
Until one day all of them were stabbed with knives.
She was left alone, deprived of lights.

In Matthias, she found her hopes rise.
Now that she walks towards him, she thinks she's sought out paradise.

Look how with tenderness he takes her hand in his right.
He pulls her close to him, mesmerized.
The pope binds the two in a marriage of love at sunrise.
He does not know the doom that lies ahead when he says "You may now kiss the bride".
