Wrath of Cain
Walking down this path
The way that's chosen
I reflect on past times
As my life flashes at closing
Scenes of hate
And forgotten crimes
A veil of falling tears
Floods the way of the years
In the shadows, house the fears
The devil laughs and sneers
In all of creation
Is this my damnation?
Widowed wives weeping
Into frames of loss
Fatherless children
Learn to hate at heavy cost
Of vengeance
Living in their sin
A veil of crimson rain
Who stands upon the slain
In shallow pools, bring the pain
Awake the wrath of Cain
Such abomination
Is this my damnation?
When I stand before the king
Of sin, will I see pride in his eyes?
Or will the flames scorch
My flesh, in sorcery rites?
Riding the wrong tides
To destinations
Reserved for sinful spells
Fated for no salvation
I cannot
Escape this hell
A veil of falling tears
Floods the way of the years
In the shadows, house the fears
The devil laughs and sneers
In all of creation
Is this my damnation?
A veil of crimson rain
Who stands upon the slain
In shallow pools, bring the pain
Awake the wrath of Cain
Such abomination
Is this my damnation?
The way that's chosen
I reflect on past times
As my life flashes at closing
Scenes of hate
And forgotten crimes
A veil of falling tears
Floods the way of the years
In the shadows, house the fears
The devil laughs and sneers
In all of creation
Is this my damnation?
Widowed wives weeping
Into frames of loss
Fatherless children
Learn to hate at heavy cost
Of vengeance
Living in their sin
A veil of crimson rain
Who stands upon the slain
In shallow pools, bring the pain
Awake the wrath of Cain
Such abomination
Is this my damnation?
When I stand before the king
Of sin, will I see pride in his eyes?
Or will the flames scorch
My flesh, in sorcery rites?
Riding the wrong tides
To destinations
Reserved for sinful spells
Fated for no salvation
I cannot
Escape this hell
A veil of falling tears
Floods the way of the years
In the shadows, house the fears
The devil laughs and sneers
In all of creation
Is this my damnation?
A veil of crimson rain
Who stands upon the slain
In shallow pools, bring the pain
Awake the wrath of Cain
Such abomination
Is this my damnation?
