Mind Eclipse

Legacy Of Cain

Mind Eclipse


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 

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.
