Abel And Cain Lyrics - Marc Almond

(Race of Abel) 

Eat, sleep and drink 

God smiles on you contentedly 

(Race of Cain) 

In filth and stink grovel 

And die wretchedly 

(Race of Abel) 

Your sacrifice smells good 

To an angel's nose 

(Race of Cain) 

What's the price 

Of your torment and woes? 

(Race of Abel) 

Watch your seeds sprout 

Your cattle grow fat 

(Race of Cain) 

Your guts plead 

For hunger howls like a wild cat! 

(Race of Abel) 

Warm your insides 

At the patriarchal fire 

(Race of Cain) 

In your dank hides poor jackals 

Trembling and dire 

(Race of Abel) 

Make love and spawn 

For your gold will likewise delight 

(Race of Cain) 

When your hearts burn 

Watch out for such appetites 

(Race of Abel) 

Grow and graze 

Devour the world like the pest 

(Race of Cain) 

Along rough ways 

Drag your families in distress 

(Race of Abel) 

Your foul carcass 

Will manure the reeking ground 

(Race of Cain) 

Up off your arse 

Your work is once again found 

(Race of Abel) 

Here's your shame 

The fire is vanquished by the rod 

(Race of Cain) 

Take up your claim 

Out of the heavens fling God!
