Black clouds fill the day sky
|
In the primitive lands of Nod
|
As the two sons of Adam offer up
|
Their gifts (of pride) to the one reigning high
|
A dark fate born by sacrificial fire
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'Oh, great father of my father
|
Whom thou banished from thy garden
|
Look down upon thy faithful servant
|
And accept my beloved brother.'
|
|
With tears of love the firstborn thrust
|
His sharpest scythe deep into Abel's heart
|
Rendering him lifeless but eternally
|
Prized in the mind of god as his body withered
|
In the scorching blaze
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'Oh, my dear brother
|
Forgive me for what I have done
|
But to the one almighty
|
A greater prize I have none.'
|
|
[Adam:]
|
'Caine, thou has broken my seal of absolute love
|
The crime thou'st committed meets not
|
The approval of him above
|
Forever shall you wonder in the lands beyond alone
|
And from this day forth I cannot call thee my own.'
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'Oh, father my great father
|
Why hast thou cursed me so?
|
Have I not done what thou asked for?
|
To the shadowed woods I cannot go.'
|
|
[Adam:]
|
'I can no longer endure thy sinful words
|
This greatly unmerciful deed hast done his wrong
|
I pray that thou find ways to repent
|
And as I was cast out so you shall be gone!'
|
Be gone!
|
|
Exiled, the firstborn rushes off to the obscure yet
|
Welcoming arms of Cimmerian darkness
|
For there he shall find great wisdom
|
And awaiting beneath the crescent moon lurks
|
The mother of magick...
