Lullaby for Cain
From the silence, from the nightComes a distant lullaby...Cry, remember that first cry,Your brother standing byAnd loved, both lovedBeloved sons of mine.Sing a lullabyMother is close byInnocent eyes,Such innocent eyesEnvy stole your brother's life;Came home martyred, peace of mind.Left you nightmares on the pillow.
Sleep now...
Soul, surrendering your soul,The heart of you not wholeFor love, but love walked onCast into the darkBranded with the mark.Of shame, of Cain.
From the garden of God's lightTo a wilderness of night.Sleep nowSleep now.
