The Burden Of Caín lyrics

I have begged the Earth to take me But it never does My hands are shaking with the blood I never learned to wash away The mark is burning through my skin A brand that never lets me fade I walk in shadows made of screams A curse that follows where I go I close my eyes to seek the end But death refuses to come close Every angel turns their face Every heaven locks it's gate And I remain I always remain Oh The burden of Cain I'm begging for the grave But God won't let me break Oh The burden of Caín Condemned to breathe again To drown and never fade Let me die! Please let me die! But the mark keeps me alive I hear my brother in my dreams His voice is all that's left of him He asked me why I ran from grace Why I became this hollow thing I claw at heaven with my fists I tear the sky for just a taste Of silence deep enough to end This endless echo of my shame Every demon knows my name Every angel speaks in hate And still I walk I always walk! Oh The burden of Cain I'm begging for the grave But God won't let me break Oh The burden of Cain A heartbeat forged in chains A life I cannot shake Let me die! Please let me die! But the mark won't let me die Take my bones Take my breath Take the curse and all that's left But leave me not to walk alone In this forever made of death Oh The burden of Cain I carry it in vain A soul that can't decay Oh The burden of Cain The first to spill a name The last to walk away If mercy comes for every man! Then why not me? Why not me? I would give anything For one last fall into the dark But the mark keeps beating! Beating!
