till death

Until the end

Till death marks the endpoint of life itself, used to emphasize permanence or lifelong commitment.

The phrase appears most famously in marriage vows—till death do us part—but extends to any pledge meant to last a lifetime: friends till death, loyal till death.

It can sound earnest or melodramatic depending on context.
