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
