In the late 1800s to early 1900s there was a duo of outlaws, partners in crime and they became the most notorious crime couple. Alex Stewart and Morgan Sterling became more infamous than Bonnie and Clyde.
In the upcoming years they were idolized for their dedication to each other through prison breaks, robberies, and murders (Alex). They had a glorified life on the run and really took to until death do us part.
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners

Alex and Morgan did multitudes of crimes, from prison breaks, murder to burglary/robberies of small-town shops, grocery stores, gas stations and banks.
This, the tale of reckless love, living a life of crime on the run
I brush to a gun to paint these states green and red
Everybody freeze, nobody move, put the money in the bag or we will shoot
Empty out the vault and me and my doll will be on our way
Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we'll play with fire 'cause
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners

(Oh, just try to catch us!)
But everything must come to and on there last robbery they hit some complications .
Here we find our omnipotent outlaws fall behind the grind tonight,
Left unaware that the lone store owner won't go down without a fight
Where we gonna go, he's got us pinned
Baby, I'm a little scared
Now, don't you quit
He's sounded the alarm, I hear the sirens closing in
Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You’ll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners

During their life of crime Alex took down a number of officers and shot at anyone who got in their way. When the police came for Alex and Morgan, they had assembled a posse more than 50 people to confront them. In the end they had fired more than 150 rounds.
We’re the Placerville Sheriff’s Police Department
Come out with your hands up
We have the place surrounded
Put your weapons down, put your weapons down!
Ready, men?
Aim… Fire!
The skies are black with lead filled rain
A morbid painting on display
This is the night the young love died
Buried at each others side
You never took us alive
We swore that death would do us part
So now we haunt you in the dark
You never took us alive
We live as ghosts among these streets
Lovers and partners
