Cross My Heart And Hope To Die

by Me And That Man

on Songs of Love and Death (2017)

[Verse 1]
I ain't looking for confession
I ain't come to raise the dead
I ain't much for you to offer
Just a cargo of tears and of pain

I ain't come here for forgiveness
I'm not paying for my sins
I betrayed you my sweet Jesus
I have chosen hell on Earth

[Chorus]
I will get away with murder
I will get away with crime
It's the innocence I rape
I won't stop until I'm done

[Verse 2]
I ain't come here for a coffee
I ain't looking for no fun
Don't expect me to be sober
Well you know I'm running wild

I don't wear no crown of thorns
Well you know I never pray
I won't offer no salvation
I was born to raise some Hell

[Chorus]
I will get away with murder
I will get away with crime
It's the innocence I rape
I won't stop until I'm done

[Verse 3]
In the garden, met my old friend
He's the one with many names
You have always been like a brother
Good to have you back again

Now I wear my graveyard suit
And I smoke a black cigars
I sing 'Hosanna, Hosanna'
At the funeral of the god

[Chorus]
I will get away with murder
I will get away with crime
It's the innocence I rape
I won't stop until I'm done

[Bridge]
We ain't come here for forgiveness
We're not paying for our sins
We betrayed you our sweet Jesus
We have chosen hell on Earth
