Lyrics
Children Of Cain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sacrifice won't suffice
Resurrection needs your death
To happen twice
Fall on my heart
And burn and forge
Your tortured black-smitten
Into the sharpest, fucking sword
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
No sin eater to slay
Us children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Christ consciousness
Manifest to the golden ratio
5 or 500 million years ago
We were 15 foot high
And to die
Was a bardot bridge(t)
We never thought we'd cross
To burn down behind and below
No sin eater to slay
Us children of cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday aids and church wine wash it away
Don't assume that I'm always with you
It's just where my mortal body happens to be
So take your little black book
I see the way that you look into it
I'll eat it and I'll cut my tongue
And all the pages you spread,
Sweet as honey you said
But I'm choking on your bitter stories
No sin eater to slay
Us children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
