Lullaby for Cain lyrics

From the silence, from the night

Comes a distant lullaby...

Cry, remember that first cry,

Your brother standing by

And loved, both loved

Beloved sons of mine.

Sing a lullaby

Mother is close by

Innocent eyes,

Such innocent eyes

Envy 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 whole

For love, but love walked on

Cast into the dark

Branded with the mark.

Of shame, of Cain.

From the garden of God's light

To a wilderness of night.

Sleep now

Sleep now.
