Just when the flowers start to bloom an evil rain will stain them
Just when the secrets start to speak there's no one to explain them
Just when you think you're heart is pure the seeds of ruin infect you
The hate in Caine runs in every vien and nothing can protect you
From the chain (that's lashing) it's a blade that's flashing
in the dark it's cutting at the heart - it's out of control!!
The poison drips from the oldest tree, the black ship rides on a timeless sea.
The spell that binds all men with shame, is buried deep and lined with pain.
A thousand kings have seen the crime in the moonlit corners of the mind.
but cannot cut the chain!
(Solo 1)
So we have to drink of the bitter sweet and the venom keeps us thirsting.
We have to take from the poison lake to keep the flood from bursting
In the midnight sun the liquid runs in the victim and the stranger
When you see your face in the crimson pool - it's you in mortal danger!
