Caveblind

The legend of Cain, Christianity's first murderer. Some speculation exists that Cain was cursed with immortality, punishing him to wander and suffer in his own torment, and that he was given a mark to prevent anyone from killing him lest the wrath of God descend upon them sevenfold. Speculation also exists that this sign or mark of Cain was that of a loathsome, hairy beast, resulting in becoming master to the race of Sasquatches. Drafted out as potential lyrics to a song, Caveblind is my ode to the "Squatch of Cain."

In ancient times a beast was slain

Brother killed by brother

A hoary wretch of mortal man

God’s first abomination

Condemned to wander, forced to starve

Scorned by my own mother

An oath was sworn by threat of throat

A secret combination

To those who find me, a curse untimely

The mark upon my soul

A walking slumber, a punishing daze

My solitude eternal

I seek for death, though none be found

My demise avenged sevenfold

Master Mahan I am called

Rage of flames infernal

The day has come that I become

Greater than my master

The one to whom allegiance formed

By works within the dark

For I have stolen souls of men

Now a motherless bastard

Bound to me by murderous oath

Are those who bear my mark

In darkened caves I dwell alone

No pillow, bed, or stable home

Forever forage, always roam

I shall rise. Caveblind!
