Abel 01:00
My parents they raised me to Love God with everything And to sing when I could Because life ain't always good But everyday when I work with my cattle I sing away Satan's rattle But he still comes everyday Trying to tempt my faith away Running through the trees Shivering with the breeze Fond memories And this simple soliloquy
2.
Abel, Pt. II 02:00
The sky turns red in the midday My head now matched the skies display One last time I'll smell these fields And then I'll dwell within their yields I taste the blood within my mouth There is too much to spit it out I feel the blood pulsing out This is the end without a doubt His heavy breath all I can hear He drops the stone onto my ear Before my heart does collapse Hate becomes my final act
3.
Who would have thought that I would be dead? Laying in a field with a stone in my head O brother I gave God the best that I could offer But you leaft me dead on the ground with worms fodder My blood cries out as it curdles in the sun What is this thing, o this thing that you've begun? Where is God's vengeance? Where is my blood for blood? God give me justice as I settle with the mud The fourth person to live and the second one to be born I tried my best to follow the Lord When I count the numbers I'm the fourth to worship You But this is what I get I'm the first to die, the first to conclude But what do I care they say I'm in a better place? But in that time between heaven and hell all I see is my brother's face Hope I can forgive him before I reach the pearly gates Or I may not enter because my soul is full of hate Well can you sin when you're already dead? Visions of murder clouding every thread Of the new robes that the Lord has given me I tainted perfection when she ate from the tree As I glance at God I fall to my knees With all my hate He still covers with mercies He whispers in my ear, "O son I love Cain to, And if that's good enough for Me it's good enough for you." If it's good enough for God it's good enough for me (Who am I to say otherwise?)
