Well I'm trying to tell you
about a thing I thought I saw
It came to me
in a dream one night
When a voice began to call
I heard my name
being summoned
as I looked around to see
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well I can't make it
I just can't figure it out
This dream is drivin' me crazy
I gotta know what it's all about
The mark is upon me
and the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind's blowin'
right down my back
I'm runnin, I'm runnin'
from a figure
that's dressed in black
I think my legs
are made out of lead
Cause I'm runnin'
but I'm going nowhere
The bad dream is coming
closer and closer
I got a feelin'
he'll always be there
Forever is a long time
to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion
have got a place for me
The mark is upon me
and the mark of Cain brings fear
<Interlude>
I was tired so tired of runnin'
I had to turn and look around
I saw eyes
that looked right through me
And a voice that made no sound
My body froze
and I stood and stared
unearthly face before me
From the depths of
a hooded nightmare
I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem
from the pinnacle I see
There's no answer
when there's no question
The mark of Cain bears
hard on me
sh that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
