Raise of Cain Lyrics


Cast into the dust but still I will withstand

Into the azure I strike my filthy hand

Raised my voice against the rules that brought me pain

Now I kneel before the altar of the slain.

Drown my house in torment now I live in fear

Fall from grace to shed another unseen tear

Father turn your head and hide your face in shame

See the impaled brother slain before you came.

But you must allow - my own world to stand

My hut you didn't build - my spine you didn't bend

When I was a child - I didn't know it in from out

I turned my confused eyes - towards the blackened cloud.

Who helped me against the pride of the titans?

Who rescued me from slavery and death?

It was you, my sacred glowing heart

So glow with ardent, with youthful distress.

In the fields, Cain rose against Abel

And slew him softly from behind.

And with his brother's blood

The first Rebellion has burst out

To tear the thrones of tyranny in sky.
