Cooper Temple Clause Murder Song Lyrics

Murder Song Lyrics

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
