House of the Crosses

I went down

To the house of the crosses

I saw my momma

Fall on her knees

Well she told me

This man's your father

He killed two people

And he raped me

She took her trumpet

She held it in her hand

She yelled out:

"He's a evil man"

She said to me

"I don't know how people could be, I don't know how people could be so evil", she said to me

Now I work

In the house of the crosses

I watch that evil, that evil man every day

I'm a guard

In the house of the crosses

I watch that man, every day

Every day, I run to the river,

I try to wash,

Wash away my pain,

Every day, I run to the river

I try to wash,

Wash away my pain

Wash away...
