House of the Crosses Lyrics

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 meshe 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 meNow I work
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 dayevery 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...
