THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE LYRICS - Murder Song

"Murder Song"



As he sits on the moor

With his new found friend

Who had shown him the way

To bow out at the end

With a dignity only

A murder can bring

With sweet violation

That versatile thing



Please believe me when i say

This is how it has to end

This is easy on us all

Well easier than other ways

Sleep is all i ask of you

Sleep and not to wake again

See this through and leave my friend

Tears will come and i will end



While i hope you all miss me

And weep at my grave

I imagine you'll pray some

And give hope to the brave

To the ones who have loved me

And cared for me

And who die when i tell them

I just had to go



Please believe me when i say

This is how it has to end

This is easy on us all

Well easier than other ways

Sleep is all i ask of you

Sleep and not to wake again

See this through and leave my friend

Sears will come and i will end
