Ere a Bitter End - Countess

Created by an insane god

For only the purpose of worship

He was the first to develop mind

And in his heart grew rebellion

He loathed his kin as they do as they’re told

His own sacrifice is half-hearted

And so his offerings were rejected by God

In favour of his feebler brother

Anger burned hot and strong was his fist

He killed with one single effort

His own flesh now cold he left to the beasts

So came murder upon mankind

«Cain, where is thy brother?»

Asked by God he was

So he did lie to him

And did commit another sin

Marked for eternity he was

The sign of Cain branded on his forehead

Cast out into the void he was

His shining blue eyes became the murderer’s sign

Banished forever to roam the earth

Immortality was granted to him

To give time to think about his sins

As wives he took his sisters sinfully

So his seed is still upon mankind

For killing in rage

He is punished to live

Cast out by his kin

He leads a life of sin

A wolf among sheep he is

Among us he’s still though his vision has changed

A life is but a flicker of a candle

For one like him the joys of life turn dim

As aeons repeat over and over

The terror of seeing loved ones age and die

Is familiar to him, he already lives in Hell

But stubbornly he fights to forever stay alive

Denying the torments of God’s verdict

So he’s stalking the ages

Forever he’ll be there

Threatening fate

With bloodsmeared fist

A lifestyle dictated by his nature
