[Caine:]
|
'Alone in the darkness I can hear
|
The sweetest voice
|
Whispering words of surcease
|
And I rejoiced!
|
|
Who would dare speak to one so
|
Condemned as I?
|
Do you know of my most wicked crime?'
|
|
[Lilith:]
|
'I'm known as Lilith, your father's first bride
|
Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.'
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?
|
Without a sole compainion of a friend of some form?'
|
|
[Lilith:]
|
'But there are many compainions in my infinite kingdom.
|
Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom.'
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'I was cold and she clothed me, I starved
|
And she fed me, I was mournful yet she loved me.
|
|
I shed bloody tears and she made them dissapear
|
She kissed away my tears
|
Her powers I could see would forever set me free
|
|
I begged her to awake me
|
Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank she would sigh
|
Then I closed my eyes
|
|
Into the dark I fell and fell
|
A deepest abyss
|
Surrounded by obscurity
|
A price for her gift
|
|
Out from the frigid blackness
|
Came a radiant glimmering light
|
Revealing the flaming archangel
|
Known as Michael'
|
|
[Michael:]
|
'Cursed son of Adam
|
Indeed his mercy is great
|
Bow thy head and repent thine sins now
|
Before it's too late.'
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'Not by his grace but my own,
|
I choose to live with pride
|
Your 'merciful' god disgusts me
|
His kingdom infested with lies.'
|
|
[Michael:]
|
'You sad irrelevant fool
|
Have thy no shame?
|
You shall forever fear the light
|
Of the living flame.'
|
|
[Caine:]
|
'On the mornign by silver wing
|
Raphael came to me and said
|
Abel did forgive me
|
Not by his (forgiveness) but mine own
|
For darkness is my home
|
|
I walk alone
|
My skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned
|
And the dawn had returned to earth below
|
I did run seeking shelter from the sun
|
The endless night of Caine had begun
|
|
When I awoke, Uriel appeared
|
The reaper with black wings
|
But thrice denied his grace
|
Hence, my blood-curse begins...'
