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

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
