Lyrics
Son of Cain
I am the afterthought
I am the remains
I stand outside the fire
And no one calls my name
I am the invisible
I am my father's shame
I am the oath I keep
the bastard son of Cain
Oh...
I stand here among you
A stranger wrapped in pain
By bow, by knife
I will guard your life
Because I am the son of Cain
Standin' on the fault line man on the border again
Keepin' all your fine things fine until the bitter end
Shadow in the tall pine
Devil's markin' time and I can't get weary
Oh ye of little faith, I'm the son of Cain
Stand by the waterline
Drown my stain in the deep
Rise an angry believer
I pray your souls to sleep
