Cain born one restless summer
Ivy creeping thick into the fields
Eve had her darling Abel

As one autumn curled into a dream

And a heavy voice fell silent in the west


Cain watched his mother hold
Sweet Abel to her breast

Clear eyes turned clouds of envy
Snake had wrapped it's tongue around his throat.


And a voice it started rising from the fields

Cold morning

Swept the cornfields
Cain and Abel
Barefeet running

Keen eyes
A fire is asking
What's beyond the distant mountainside

The boneyard calling night

One long and heartless winter

Snowstorm howled like wolves and shook the door
Eve calmed her crying children
Sang about a garden she had known


Oh a voice was laid to rest beneath the snow


Old brothers tilled the fields
As Cain's first love walked past
She flashed a smile at Abel

Cain had caught it
With a jealous eye


And a voice it whispered devils from the dust

Late evening

Touched the hilltops
Cain called Abel
From the barnyard

Cain took his
Father's hatchet
Sank it's edge

Into his brother's chest
A fire raged in the west


Cain fled, his barefeet running
Crossed the mountainside
Cain, there's nothing here

But boneyards calling night

And a voice it sank away into regret


Eve cradled in her arms
Her baby Abel shivering on the ground

He asked her sing the one
About the garden that I never knew


And her voice it started rising from the grass

White starlight

Fills the garden
Cain and Abel
Barefeet running

Soft warmth
A fire is asking
Please forgive me

For that mountainside
I let it take your life
