Cross My Heart and Hope to Die Songtext
von Me and That Man

I ain′t looking for compassion
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 coming for forgiveness
I'm not paying for my sins
I betrayed you my sweet Jesus
I have chosen hell on earth

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

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 can′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

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

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 the black cigars
I sing hosanna hosanna!
At the funeral of god

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


We ain't coming for forgiveness
We′re not paying for our sins
We betrayed you our sweet Jesus
We have chosen hell on earth
