Lyrics
The jury found the verdict first degree
The jury reached a verdict of the most serious degree of guilt.
They swore I planned her death to be
They swore that I had planned the death of someone.
I prayed they'd sentence me to die
I wished they would sentence me to death.
But they wanted me to live and I know why
However, they chose to keep me alive, and I understand the reason.
So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
I am serving a life sentence in prison for the mistakes I've made.
And I pray every night for death to come
I pray every night for death to end my suffering.
My life will be a burden every day
Every day of my life will be a heavy burden to bear.
If I could die, my pain might go away
If I could die, perhaps my pain would cease.
With trembling hands I killed my darling wife
I killed my beloved wife with shaking hands.
Because I loved her more than life
Because I loved her more than anything else.
My love for her will last a long, long time
My love for her will endure for a very long time.
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
However, I would prefer death over losing my sanity while alive.
And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
I am serving a life sentence in prison for the mistakes I've made.
And pray every night for death to come
I pray every night for death to end my suffering.
My life will be a burden every day
Every day of my life will be a heavy burden to bear.
If I could die, my pain might go away
If I could die, perhaps my pain would cease.
If I could die, my pain might go away
