on my life
I stake everything
On my life is a solemn oath emphasizing that a statement is absolutely true, staking one's existence on its veracity: On my life, I never touched that money.
The phrase functions as a personal guarantee—if I'm lying, let me die.
It carries more weight than casual promises, though like most oaths, frequent use dilutes its force.
