The Greatest Story Ever Told

How could this happen?

Am I dreaming again?

Her body’s not moving, I’m assuming she’s dead

This isn’t a fucking game

There’s somebody’s life at stake

She’s covered in bruises

But the truth is that I never committed the crime

'Cause I could never hurt a fly

Then how’d she lose her life?

You're in denial

Time to burn and dig the whites of my eyes

I wanna tell you

But what went on that night?

Listen closely as I tell you I’m not who I seem

I’m gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream

I want to watch you when you’re sleeping and thinking of me”

And that’s what he told her as he killed her

That son of a bitch took away my girl

He’s gonna pay for it right now

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

But don't believe what he says

He's not real. It's murder and he did it

My God, hear me

You better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you

'Cause I'll be out in six months

With his address and a shotgun

And a promise for justice that night

And I’ll be standing at the crime

So they can throw me back in prison for my life

If that could bring you back to me

Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive

It was springtime on our wedding day; there were birds in the sky

The sun was glowing; it was beautiful and everyone was there

I still can’t believe that you're gone

I’m so lost

I’m sorry, I'm sorry

Don’t go. Oh please God, no

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

Don't believe what he says

He's not real. He's just a murderer

Come on, don't

I think that I've had enough

He says, “you're too late

I’ve got a hole to dig and you think that I’ve over-reacted?

She was just so cute

I can't resist 'cause I’m a sucker for promiscuous action."

So tell me. Just tell me

Tell me the truth

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

Don't believe what he says

He's not real. He's a murderer

'Cause you'll be lying awake

From this nightmare you feel betrayed

I gave my life

But you took it away

Am I dead?

Or am I still breathing?

'Cause you’ve stolen the love of my life

So you’ll be sleeping with the fishes tonight

Woah, alright, woah, alright

Sleeping with the fishes tonight

Now listen -

I’m not religious, but I’ve learned to pray for her

I’m not a violent man, but people can change

So while you’re sleeping

I’ll slit your throat and drain your blood

And mail it to your mother

She’ll discover what a mess you've become

Well I think she might like that, well I fucking do

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

Don't believe what he says

He's not real. He's a murderer

'Cause you'll be lying awake

From this nightmare you feel betrayed

I gave my life, but you took it away

There's not a day that goes by

But you took it away

But you took it away
