Mysteries And Mayhem Lyrics - Masque - Kansas

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
