The Cainian Chronicle Part II: Lillith's Embrace

[Caine:]

'Alone in the darkness I can hear

The sweetest voice

Whispering words of surcease

And I rejoiced!

Who would dare speak to one so

Condemned as I?

Do you know of my most wicked crime?'

[Lilith:]

'I'm known as Lilith, your father's first bride

Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.'

[Caine:]

'How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?

Without a sole compainion of a friend of some form?'

[Lilith:]

'But there are many compainions in my infinite kingdom.

Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom.'

[Caine:]

'I was cold and she clothed me, I starved

And she fed me, I was mournful yet she loved me.

I shed bloody tears and she made them dissapear

She kissed away my tears

Her powers I could see would forever set me free

I begged her to awake me

Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank she would sigh

Then I closed my eyes

Into the dark I fell and fell

A deepest abyss

Surrounded by obscurity

A price for her gift

Out from the frigid blackness

Came a radiant glimmering light

Revealing the flaming archangel

Known as Michael'

[Michael:]

'Cursed son of Adam

Indeed his mercy is great

Bow thy head and repent thine sins now

Before it's too late.'

[Caine:]

'Not by his grace but my own,

I choose to live with pride

Your 'merciful' god disgusts me

His kingdom infested with lies.'

[Michael:]

'You sad irrelevant fool

Have thy no shame?

You shall forever fear the light

Of the living flame.'

[Caine:]

'On the mornign by silver wing

Raphael came to me and said

Abel did forgive me

Not by his (forgiveness) but mine own

For darkness is my home

I walk alone

My skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned

And the dawn had returned to earth below

I did run seeking shelter from the sun

The endless night of Caine had begun

When I awoke, Uriel appeared

The reaper with black wings

But thrice denied his grace

Hence, my blood-curse begins...'
