Текст песни: Mark Of Cain, The + перевод

I have dark dreams of that murderous night

I see the hammer swing and the blood run bright

Then the sky rolls back in a blinding light

And I cannot hide from the master’s sight

I don’t ask to be spared the criminal’s shame

I deserve these bars and the ball and chain

The hangman’s rope and the fire’s flame

For the dark in my heart is the mark of Cain

I had my good reasons to do the deed

For a lover’s treason sows the devil’s seed

And revenge is the fire that dragon breathes

And murder’s the madness that hatred breeds

I don’t ask to be spared the criminal’s shame

I deserve these bars and the ball and chain

The hangman’s rope and the fire’s flame

For the dark in my heart is the mark of Cain

Come this very morning when the rooster crows

Only the preacher will pray for my soul

They’ll hang me high and bury me low

In a Potter’s Field where the cold wind blows

I don’t ask to be spared the criminal’s shame

I deserve these bars and the ball and chain

The hangman’s rope and the fire’s flame

For the dark in my heart is the mark of Cain
