"To The End" by My Chemical Romance (Performed by AliraVala)

I step out dressed in a brilliant red suit made of shimmering material, a black silk shirt and a red tie made of the same material. My hair is slicked back and I've got on black eyeliner and some kicking red lipstick. The jacket is unbuttoned and I grin as I clutch a microphone in my hand. I start swaying my hips a bit then still. The music starts and I know I've only got a few seconds so I start to sing, staring down at the floor, mic close to my lips.

He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party all collapsed in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.

I look up and throw my hands in the air as I sing the next lines

Let's go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around.
He's always looking at men
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends.
As they are
Face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens.

I spin around in a circle and leap into the air, coming down hard on the stage, but I mean to as I sing.

If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?

I leap to my feet and I point at Santiago, singing the chorus to him

(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.

I pull off the jacket off and make a kicking motion as I toss it to the side of the stage, then turn in Lestat's direction as I sing the next bit.

She keeps a picture of the body she lends.
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends.
She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz
She drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens.

Now I turn to the rest of the audience and hold my hand up in a stopping motion as I go on with the song

If you ever say never too late.
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate.
Lost in coma and covered in cake.
Increase the medication.
Share the vows at the wake.
(Kiss the bride)

I jump up again, doing another kick and this time when I land I purposefully collapse to one knee, still singing.

If you marry me,
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?

I stand back up and throw my head back, mic close to my mouth again as I sing towards the heavens.

(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.

I bring my head down and lean over the lip of the stage, one leg crooked on the lights as I look down and move my gaze over everyone, singing still.

(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.

I jump back and kick my leg out so now I'm standing with them separated by a good foot and a half. I point into the audience again.

(So say goodbye) to the vows you take
(And say goodbye) to the life you make
(And say goodbye) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.

I spin around in a circle then get to my knees, laying my body back as I belt out the chorus once again.

(And say goodbye) to the last parade
(And walk away) from the choice you made
(And say goodnight) to the heart you break
And all the cyanide you drank.

I vault forward and spring to my feet, a last surprise waiting. This time when I leap in the air and kick, I throw myself into a back tuck and land easily as I finish the song.

To the last parade
When the parties fade
And the choice you made
To the End.

I draw out the last note and smiling and sweating, I wave to everyone and walk off the stage. Then I run back out.

My Chemical Romance ROCKS!

Satisfied I jog back stage
