Citizen Cain

Bad Karma (Monsters And Men)

Citizen Cain


He stands at the crossroads
Before the evening bell
Contemplates his needs
While drowning in it's melody

Oh my he's hiding inside
Climbing out of the wall
Grave mistake
The good scout leader
Is turning public enemy

No light can get down inside
The mask he wears must fall
Hesitate while he's preparing your cubs
He's hides insanity

Here comes Frankenstein throwing the ball
So many children to reach
A subtle Pied Piper, the death of us all
What is he doing?
Silently raping our sacred harmony

He's the grim paedophile
Sadly living next door
What a state
A beast whose purpose is drowning our humanity

Hansel watch Gretle
The woods are dark
Never go out on your own
A wolf is out prowling your playground park
Someone who knows you
Teacher, tailor, soldier, sailor or priest

Cain has cried my life shall spawn
A beast to prey upon your fawn
With cold eyes he's in heaven
A blind insanity

Abel is your heaven that Cain killed
So deep inside
Cold eyes talk of heaven
Behind insanity
Still you can't see

Once upon a time there was a tin soldier
Brave and a knight he would be
Sadly in the rain he got rusted over
Drowning in your fear

Cain has cried my life shall spawn
A beast to prey upon your fawn
With cold eyes he's in heaven
A blind insanity

Abel is your heaven that Cain killed
So deep inside
Cold eyes stalking heaven
Behind insanity

We say only in your heaven
A ghost lies on broken hearts
Crying out to heaven
Yet no-one ever hears

Cold eyes and heaven
Are not so far apart
Crying out forever
The ghost with silent tears
