Story Behind the Song
Curse of Cain". Go to the Bible, Genesis, chapter 4, verse 15 Cain.. God said Cain would be protected as any one who dared harmed him would have sevenfold more suffering as a result. It almost appears as if that is happening in today's world. There seem to be a continuation of too many Cains killing Ables. I wonder if the circle of hate moves faster because it is going down hill to hell. "The death angel you wish on others will visit you instead." It is happening in America and through out the world. As the intensity of our questionable focus on war develops so will our experiences like the sniper shooting around Washington and attacks on Americans here and abroad. We can never give up working for peace. Don't mark our young with the Curse of Cain.
Lyrics
Spoken
Do not be misled to war and hate by the words of man.
Seek the truth, the words of love in the Bible and Koran.
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
It will bring tomorrow’s sorrow, Repeating age old pain
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
It will only bring them suffering ,
Horror, war and pain.seven fold more sorrow , Seven fold more pain
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
We have to let go , anger that we know
Start the healing, feel ing
We can’t bring back our young who died before their time
But we can bring back their dreams of peace , that war has left behind
We have to let go the Hatred that we know
Or in the land of milk and honey, the blood of our young shall flow.
Where Roses of Sharon grows.
The Holy land stained bright red , With fresh blood of new dead.
The dead who need not die
The death angel you wished on others, will come to you instead
With horror, pain suffering, untold fear and dred,
The Jordan river, flows bright red with fresh blood of new dead, dead who need not die.
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
It will bring tomorrow’s sorrow, Repeating age old pain
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
It will only bring them suffering ,
Horror, war and pain.
seven fold more sorrow , Seven fold more pain
Don't mark our young with the curse of Caine ,
We have to bid adieu to the horror that we knew,
Start the healing feeling.
We can not bring back the young who died before their time
But we can bring back their dreams of peace, that war has left behind
Lets light peace candles every one
To make the light of truth, bright as the sun
lets light peace candles, It’s not too late,
To illuminate the fact there’s no more time for hate.
Lets light peace candles for Children pure and young ,
For those who died before their time, this song is being sung.
Let light peace candles , before it is too late,
Unless we stem the tides of hate , War will be our off springs fate.
Far too many young will die, before their time.
