[Intro]

Dry, barren soil turns red

My son, what have you done?

A rock wrenched from angered hands

My son, My son, My son

[Verse 1]

Your brother lies at thy feet.

In silence, like the night

As equals you were treated

You felt wronged, never right.

[Verse 2]

Anger turns to sorrow and remorse

On my knees, I beg forgiveness

Forgive me, I know not my actions

I plead not for hate, but for kindness

[Chorus]

I know not, this rage inside

In my mind, the madness

in my heart, the hate

In my soul, the sadness

[Verse 3]

For kindness, there is no reward

Thou shall not kill, its' quoted

Blind jealousy you have sinned

In God's presence, tis noted

[Bridge]

A thunderous clap and bright light

From the heavens a vision unfolds

A divine figure clad in pure white,

Your eternal salvation he holds

[Chorus]

I know not, this rage inside

In my mind, the madness

In my heart, the hate

In my soul, the sadness

[Verse 4]

From sad eyes, my tears fall

As I weep at gods' feet

My mind was not my own,

In remorse my heart beats

[Verse 5]

Gods voice is soft yet stern

He speaks with great command

Your anger was not in control

For this, my judgment stands

[Chorus]

I know not, this rage inside

In my mind, the madness

In my heart, the hate

In my soul, the sadness

[Verse 6]

For this act, I decree

Please God, forgive me

Eternally bound to this mark

My soul, now never free

[Verse 7]

Forever to walk this earth

With this mark, I cannot die

Perpetually bound by chains

Oh god, my god, hear me cry

[Chorus]

I know not, this rage inside

In my mind, the madness

In my heart, the hate

In my soul, the sadness

[Verse 8]

A dark presence I feel

I must pay the toll

A deal signed in blood

This mark for my soul

[Outro]

Life is full of choices

Never knowing which is right

With every decision made

A balance of dark and light
