Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was originally formed in 1984 by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. They were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). With this line-up, the band recorded and released their debut album, From Her to Eternity (1984). The group has been through many personnel changes, with Cave and Harvey remaining the constants. During their initial Australian tour, Birthday Party bass guitarist Tracy Pew also performed with the band.

I think the "lie" he told is that he's not afraid to die. it replaces that line, not the others.. his innocence is ambiguous to the end part of why this is such a masterful song
I totally agree! It most likely refers to the fear of dying, as this song is in a way about questioning the death penalty. Not about guilt or innocence itself! I like the caro8680 vid "Nick Cave The Mercy Seat (the best version i've ever heard!)" too!
