The chorus is from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells," which is just about the progression of life...Step 1: being born, Step 2: Growing up and getting married, Step 3: Death, and Step 4: The afterlife. This song is about getting married and being betrayed...The hell that life really is.
"The Bells"
Edgar Allan Poe
Hear the loud alarm bells ---
Brazen bells!
What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
In the startled ear of night
How the scream out their affright!
Too much horrified to speak,
They can only shriek, shriek,
Out of tune,
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
Leaping higher, higher, higher,
With a desperate desire,
And a resolute endeavor
Now --- now to sit, or never,
By the side of the pale-faced moon.
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
What a tale their terror tells
Of despair!

I had to read this poem for my English class, and I was like, whoa! Chiodos! Edgar Allan Poe kicks ass! (:(:(:
