Cain's Cry

Following are lyrics to a song I am writing.

Cain's Cry
by Joseph Bishara

There's a hole in my heart and blood on my hands
A brother is gone. I can't understand
why I did what I've done, destroying all I had planned

There's a hole in my soul and a mark on my head
Seven times cursed, if you strike me dead.
I've destroyed who I love, and buried my only friend.

Able no more to cradle his head
Two peas in a pod and I brought his end
I've got hell to pay down, and the bill comes due when I'm dead

CHORUS
I'm a lost generation, in a well of souls.
And I'm lost to the nations, for whom no bell tolls.
I've got fire inside me, like a falling leaf,
and a cry to remind me. Help me find some peace.

This one's a mess, I just can't undo.
I lied then confessed, in a sentence or two
And his blood still cries out, from the grave that I sent him to

A family that weeps, for both us two.
My shame and my blame, for putting them through.
I've got hell to pay down, and heaven says it's come due

CHORUS
