Mark of Cain

In my kingdom of dust and ash Here we stand again at last See the burn marks on the concrete Promise of my destiny You taught me to hate me Burn me alive in your sermons You want me to haunt me Screaming out in tortured tongues Deny you, defy you Now this has gone far beyond I watch you erase you Inside the lines of your want Light all the torches, burn me at the stake Burn all the edges, and sever the day The cloak the dagger shadow all you say Holes in your hand burn your mark in my face If I come back again Back from the dead I'll bear the weight on my head I have a lifetime to find a place for these bones Burn your mark in my skin May you come back again Back from the dead Let's count the bodies again Light the torch I won't burn to death alone Burn your mark in my skin At the last I'm God forsaken Prison of flesh I've made it Filthy bag of bones He did create See the Mark of Cain upon my face You taught me to hate me Burn me alive in your sermons You want me to haunt me Screaming out in tortured tongues Deny you, defy you Now this has gone far beyond I watch you erase you Inside the lines of your want Light all the torches, burn me at the stake Burn all the edges and sever the day The cloak and the dagger shadow all you say Holes in your hand burn your mark in my face If I come back again Back from the dead I'll bear the weight on my head I have a lifetime to find a place for these bones Burn your mark in my skin May you come back again Back from the dead Let's count the bodies again Light the torch I won't burn to death alone Burn your mark . . . In my skin Burn you Burn it all Earth bleeding out as I burn at the stake Skin falls away and I'll shriek in my grave Burning in hell until death do us part I'll see you there, and we'll scream IN THE DARK
