Funeral Song Lyrics

i always thought this song was about a marriage gone wrong.

and how the hubands abuses her in some way, and she know's its bad and that she should stay away (Stay away from the burning house,Once you get inside you'll never get out) but she loves him (But you just love the demon with the poison dart).

then it goes to far one day..and he kills her. (Nothing says 'forever' like our very own grave) i think that line is also referring to wedding vowes.

"theres nothing left to see, turn out the light" all of HER is gone, he has destroyed her...she no longer has a life..so she wants it to end.

that's my opinion anyway.
