Black clouds fill the day sky
In the primitive lands of Nod
As the two sons of Adam offer up
Their gifts (of pride) to the one reigning high
A dark fate born by sacrificial fire
[Caine:]
`Oh, great father of my father
Whom thou banished from thy garden
Look down upon thy faithful servant
And accept my beloved brother.`
With tears of love the firstborn thrust
His sharpest scythe deep into Abel`s heart
Rendering him lifeless but eternally
Prized in the mind of god as his body withered
In the scorching blaze
[Caine:]
`Oh, my dear brother
Forgive me for what I have done
But to the one almighty
A greater prize I have none.`
[Adam:]
`Caine, thou has broken my seal of absolute love
The crime thou`st committed meets not
The approval of him above
Forever shall you wonder in the lands beyond alone
And from this day forth I cannot call thee my own.`
[Caine:]
`Oh, father my great father
Why hast thou cursed me so?
Have I not done what thou asked for?
To the shadowed woods I cannot go.`
[Adam:]
`I can no longer endure thy sinful words
This greatly unmerciful deed hast done his wrong
I pray that thou find ways to repent
And as I was cast out so you shall be gone!`
Be gone!
