Murder's Prayer
You take nothing from me and I know you are sincere,
I pray to you each night and I tell you every fear.
Sometimes I may not be pious and I change my ways,
but know that I still love you until the last of my days.
I ask you for forgiveness for all the wrongs in my life
You see, Lord, I've killed someone tonight with a knife.
I was angry, and drunk not to mention a little stressed
so I went to my girl friends house to get it off my chest
When I walked into her place I knew something was wrong
I saw strange shoes in the hall way, a tie and her thong.
I rushed to her bedroom and you know what I seen?
Lord...she was the unfaithful one you know what I mean?
So I rushed to my jacket and I grabbed my knife quick
I took the guy out first the blood made me so sick
You see I was furious with anger and I just couldn't stop
When all of a sudden all the noise had alerted a cop
he was nearby just cruising the street near my car
So I grabbed my jacket and fled the scene to a bar
Lord I drank my sorrows away and now here I am
I've still got blood all over me so I think I will scram
I don't know if you can forgive me but that's really okay
Because I'm still a murderer at the end of this day.
