Legacy of Cain Lyrics & Tabs by Mind Eclipse
Legacy of Cain
guitar chords lyrics
All my nightmares back again - scared to go to sleep
They come and torture me at night, awake my dormant fears
Time after time, again and again
I am haunted by an image of a weeping maiden
Whispering her ghastly words:
No hope remains! No hope remains!
No hope remains to redeem the sin of murder
No chance to evade the fate
That will be dealt to human kind
Not in the ancient books or scrolls
Lives the damnation
But in your blood that fills your veins
And in your thoughts
Not buried in the ruble of past virtues
But in the dark uncharted recesses of your mind
And in your thoughts
Not buried in the ruble of past virtues
But in the dark uncharted recesses of your mind
In a ghostly shadow of Erebus it will arise
And dim your eyes to a shade of evil
Anticipating punishment you turn
Your gaze upon the skies
Or seek it in the depths of the Earth
But all to no avail
For your demise is much more closer to you
It's in your hands. O, descendant of Cain!
In the hands of a creature that calls itself Human
One day the words will sound within your brain
The words you hadn't heard before -
The testament of Cain to his abiding sons
The sword of words is wielded
By the enlightened one
It could be painful but effective cure
With potency to save you from this plague
Alas! To those were born deaf and blind
This cure is vain
And you soon will perish as a species
Drowned in the blood of your pointless wars
And there will be no one left
Carrying the seal of Cain.
