Cain and Abel

Born in the dirt where the crops grew thin
Two brothers one blood but a rift within
Cain worked the earth Abel tended the beast
A shadow rising a bond decreased
Abels altar lit with a brighter fire
Smoke rose higher fed God's desire
Cain looked on with a twisted frown
Fury in his chest weighed him down 
Crimson in the soil where the deed was done
Echoes in the wind of the silent one
The earth drinks deep justice calls his name
But Cain just runs can't outrun the shame 
Marked and wandering a soul in exile
A heavy curse a path so vile 
In the pages they live their tale remains 
A lesson in the fire in the bloodstained plains

Am i my brothers keeper or lost in the game 
Jealous hearts spark like a deadly flame 
The skies cried out but no one came 
Two boys one story one scarred name

Two sons born from the same line 
One worked the fields the other raised what's fine
Abel brought the lamb Cain grew the vine
But the fire chose one and left the other behind 
Cain hands stained with the weight of regret 
Saying am I my brothers keeper don't forget
The soil shouted back secrets he kept
A lesson etched where the sun never set
Was the fruit too sweet did the wrath grow wild
Was the bond too weak or the mischief of a child
The fields will whisper the heavens will sigh
Two sons born to toil under one sky 
History repeats we're all in that fight
The war between envy and what's right 
You hold that choice in the dead of night
Will you raise the blade or embrace the light 

Oh the blood it cries from the ground 
A brother's voice in the silence loud 
Jealousys a curse that'll where the crown
When love gets lost we all go down
