Noa - Mark Of Cain lyrics

I am a young woman with callused hands and feet

With an ever growing problem buried in me deep

It has stripped me of my beauty with an overwhelming pain

And on yesterday's proud forehead, it has burned the mark of Cain

It happened long ago though it seems like only yesterday

I had come back home after years of wandering astray

Walked familiar streets, never knowing fate would find me there

And ever since I've been crippled 'neath this burden I must bear

The Mark of Cain

The child of pain

Of trouble and of war

Mother Nature cannot comfort

Nor the coolness of the sea

Lord above, how can I love

This thing that I abhor?

Child of pain is growing in me

Within me he is waging war, battling for breath

Battling for blood and a body of His own

I've considered the solution but that would be my death

For while I've waited and debated he has grown

Deep in my heart I wish I could love him

Erase our past with a mother's embrace

I want to start fresh but within me I'm fearful

Will I find my oppressor in his tiny face?

The Mark of Cain

The child of pain

Of trouble and of war

Mother Nature cannot comfort

Nor the coolness of the sea

Lord above, how can I love

This thing that I abhor?

Child of pain is growing in me

Deep in my heart I wish I could love him

Erase our past with a mother's embrace

I want to start fresh but within me I'm fearful

Will I find my oppressor in his tiny face?

The Mark of Cain

The child of pain

Of trouble and of war

Mother Nature cannot comfort

Nor the coolness of the sea

Lord above, how can I love

This thing that I abhor?

Child of rape is growing in me

Child of rape is growing in me

Child of rape is growing in me

Growing in me

Growing in me
