2. Song lyrics of For Richer For Poorer

For richer For Poorer, For better and for worse,

These were the vows you’ve forgotten to rehearse,

The years of fellow bliss, are now becoming this

Pain and destruction, lives broken, conflict becoming open.

A child becomes afraid to live with all the pain,

Of a world becoming blue and life being torn in two.

These vows now never spoken, because too often broken

Shattered at the seams, families no longer see

Happiness all together pushing forward to make life better.

3. Title: Never Spoken

4: Album cover: My album cover would be a golden ring with the vows made at weddings inscribed on it melting away on a black canvas. The font of the album would be posh calligraphy like found on wedding invitations. The title would be in the top left and bands name in the bottom right. The font would be white to stand out against the black background. The cover would be fairly simple because it is just a ring melting but at the same time it is powerful and presents a strong point.
