House Of The Crosses Lyrics - Truth Is Not Fiction - Otis Taylor

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 

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...
