Lullaby for Cain Lyrics
From the silence, from the night
Comes a distant lullaby
Cry--remember that first cry
Your brother standing by
And lot of loved-- beloved sons of mine
Sing a lullaby; mother is close by
Innocent eyes-- such innocent eyes!--
Envy stole your brother's life
Came home murdered piece of mind
Left you nightmares on the pillow
Sleep now...
Soul-- surrendering your soul
The heart of you not whole
For love, but love walked on
Cast into the dark
Branded with the mark--
Of shame; of Cain
From a garden of God's light
To a wilderness of night
Sleep now; sleep now...
