Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction

She was looking mighty fine
Dressed in pure white
Her husband down the aisle
He was smiling

The bridesmaids all in a line
And everything down to the letter
You'd fallen deep in love
And there you settled

You're married to the Law
And looking like a white-washed tomb
Vanity stirred by your husband
Choking on a whirlwind of dust

You bore all kinds of sin
Through Adam's filthy seed
You can't satisfy your husband
And he's unable to save you

His jurisdiction over you exists only in life
You'll never be free of what you love until he dies
