A Little Piece Of Heaven
Lyrics:
[English]
Before the story begins
Is it such a sin
For me to take what's mine?
Until the end of time
We were more than friends
Before the story ends
And I will take what's mine
Create what God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true
I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears
Conjuring her deepest fears (come here, you fuckin' bitch)
Must have stabbed her 50 fuckin' times
I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes
Sounds over easy
Eat it, eat it, eat it
She was never this good in bed, even when she was sleepin'
Now she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so fuckin' deep in
It goes on and on and on
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold
That's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time, but bye-bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
Baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah-yeah
But, baby, don't cry
Possibilities I'd never considered
Are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved
Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears
Must have stabbed him 50 fuckin' times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Sounds over easy
Eat it, eat it, eat it
Now that it's done, I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave
I gotta make up for what I've done
'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold
That's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time, but bye-bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But, baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah-yeah
But, baby, don't cry
I will suffer for so long (what will you do? Not long enough)
To make it up to you (I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do (well, then I'll grant you one chance)
And if it's not enough (it's not enough, it's not enough)
If it's not enough (not enough)
Try again (try again)
And again (and again)
Over and over again
We're coming back, coming back
We'll live forever, live forever
Let's have wedding, have a wedding
Let's start the killing, start the killing
Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
Yes, I do
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life
I do
I now pronounce you
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time
But bye-bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start, whoa
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, yeah
But, baby, don't cry
...

Grammar:
-
Is it such a sin for me to take what's mine?
➔ Interrogative Structure with 'such a' and infinitive clause
➔ This line uses an interrogative form to question whether taking what he believes belongs to him is a sin. 'Such a' intensifies the noun 'sin', emphasizing the magnitude of the potential transgression. The use of 'for me to take' is an infinitive clause acting as the subject of the question.
-
Create what God would never design
➔ Conditional 'would' in a relative clause
➔ The use of 'would' here expresses a hypothetical situation or a contrary-to-fact statement. It suggests that God, in reality, *never* designs such things. 'What God would never design' acts as a noun clause, the object of the verb 'create'.
-
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
➔ Noun Clause after an abstract noun 'fear'
➔ The clause 'that something would go wrong' is a noun clause that specifies the content of the speaker's fear. The word 'that' introduces the clause and acts as a conjunction linking it to the main clause. The conditional 'would' conveys a potential, rather than certain, event.
-
Must have stabbed her 50 fuckin' times
➔ Modal Perfect 'Must have' + Past Participle for deduction
➔ 'Must have stabbed' expresses a strong deduction about a past action. The speaker is concluding, based on evidence (implied, likely the state of the body), that he is certain he stabbed her many times. 'Must have' indicates a high degree of certainty.
-
She was never this good in bed, even when she was sleepin'
➔ Comparative Adjective with 'never' and Adverbial Clause of Time
➔ This sentence uses 'never' to express that she was *not* good in bed before her death. The phrase 'this good' is a comparative construction, implying a comparison to her current (post-mortem) state. 'Even when she was sleepin'' is an adverbial clause of time, modifying the main clause.
-
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever
➔ Causative Verb 'Keep' + Object + Present Participle
➔ The structure 'keep + object + present participle' indicates that the subject (I) will cause the object (you) to continue performing the action (looking young and preserved). 'Looking' and 'preserved' are both present participles describing the state of the object.
-
I will suffer for so long to make it up to you
➔ Purpose clause with 'to' and 'so...that...' structure
➔ The phrase 'to make it up to you' is an infinitive of purpose, explaining *why* he will suffer. The implied full structure could be 'I will suffer *for* so long *that* I can make it up to you', where the 'that' clause is understood but not explicitly stated. 'So...to' implies a great extent or degree.
