Abel And Cain Lyrics by Marc Almond

Abel And Cain Lyrics

    (race of abel)
    Eat, sleep and drink
    God smiles on you contentedly
    (race of cain)
    In filth and stink grovel
    And die wretchedly
    (race of abel)
    Your sacrifice smells good
    To an angel's nose
    (race of cain)
    What's the price
    Of your torment and woes?
    (race of abel)
    Watch your seeds sprout
    Your cattle grow fat
    (race of cain)
    Your guts plead
    For hunger howls like a wild cat!
    (race of abel)
    Warm your insides
    At the patriarchal fire
    (race of cain)
    In your dank hides poor jackals
    Trembling and dire
    (race of abel)
    Make love and spawn
    For your gold will likewise delight
    (race of cain)
    When your hearts burn
    Watch out for such appetites
    (race of abel)
    Grow and graze
    Devour the world like the pest
    (race of cain)
    Along rough ways
    Drag your families in distress
    (race of abel)
    Your foul carcass
    Will manure the reeking ground
    (race of cain)
    Up off your arse
    Your work is once again found
    (race of abel)
    Here's your shame
    The fire is vanquished by the rod
    (race of cain)
    Take up your claim
    Out of the heavens fling god!
