Mark of Cain

Born between enemy lines, caught in a crossfire
Someone shows you how to walk by putting up tripwires
So when you’ve finally nailed it, you walk away
Off to the minefield, the ground on which you’re allowed to play
The law of the jungle is still a natural fact
Well-refined and cultivated bestial acts
Cain! Mark of Cain!
What amount of blood will wash it away?
Cain! Mark of Cain!
To wipe off the stain it will take a harder rain
Mark of Cain!
You try to find one to trade muscle for shelter
Convince her that you will improve the hand nature dealt her
She can’t show you she’s stronger or you’ll walk away
The weakest of teams don’t need to think they can win to play
Still the law of the jungle is a natural fact
Well-refined and cultivated bestial acts
