Running To Persia - Cain and Abel lyrics

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 its 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 its 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
