The Nameless Murderess
Francis of Assisi said lord I'm in distress
I've preached about your mercy but your children couldn't care less
They take your laws and break your laws and use them to their gain
Well its been 600 years and nothin has been changed
I was a girl who loved her father til he left us for sea
And caring for my mother and my brothers fell to me
I took my hair down pulled my skirt up til I met a merchants son
The the rich just saw a wretch who slept her way out of the slum
So you can finish up your glass
And I'll buy you another one
I'll satisfy your thirsts
Because I need a dark deed done
His father is the devil and his mother Satan's wife
They had dinner with the colonel and served a deal to ruin my life
To recruit both of my brothers who were never fit to fight
And they sent those simple boys off to be slaughtered on the lines
And with their bodies still warm on the fields our home was sent decree
That with no men now in our house we forfeit property
And I begged and begged my husband but his ears were deaf to me
So I saw my grieving ma be turned out on the streets
So can you finish up your glass
And I'll buy you another one
I'll satisfy your thirsts
Because I need a dark deed done
See when I walked my wedding aisle there smiles told me what was to come
And if I wind up in a cell with the gallows freshly hung
I beg you please lord don't forgive them for they know just what they've done
But save some of your mercy lord I plead
For they have made a murder of me
No you cannot know my name
There's no fortune in my fame
There should be no memory of what I became

And when my judgement comes I will agree
But let me die in anonymity
But if you want my body or my money I'll provide
Whatever your wills wanting to secure you're on my side
They took all that was dear to me now I without remorse
Will take their only son who comes here to declare divorce
And now the time for crime approaches give me your word now
That the fury of your forces find his bastard brow
That his horses and his carriage haul a corpse cross town
To his parents who will weep over his crushed in crown
I can hear the hooves arriving turn your eyes around
For that's him who's walking in so let it all fall down
Dearest lord may I implore your mercy when I reach your gate
I know I made a mortal sin that may have sealed my fate
But the poor can find no justice and it fills our hearts with hate
Am I damned for all eternity for I let them make a murder of me
No sir you cannot know my name
There's no fortune in my fame
There should be no memory of what I became
And when my judgement comes I will agree
But let me die in anonymity
One two three can we play the game
Of the murderess who had no name
Lucifer was waiting but saint Francis came
And said her name is nowhere on your deeds
So she will come to heaven now with me
One two three can we play the game
Of the murderess who had no name
Lucifer was waiting but saint Francis came
And said her name is nowhere on your deeds
So she will come to heaven now with me
