Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Eden's garden, two brothers stood
One's heart was pure, the other's was wood
Cain toiled the soil, fruits he brought
While Abel's best sheep to God he sought
The favor fell on Abel's gift
Cain's heart grew dark, his soul adrift
[Chorus]
Brother against brother, in the field
God's judgment spoke, their fate was sealed
Blood cried out from the earth below
A curse on Cain, a restless woe
[Verse 2]
God's voice echoed, "What have you done?"
"Your brother's blood cries out from the ground, my son"
Cain's denial, his sin revealed
A curse of wandering, his fate sealed
Brother betrayed, life taken away
A bond of blood shattered that fateful day
[Bridge 1]
Envy's poison, a seed that grew
In Cain's heart, the darkness spew
From jealousy to murderous deed
Fractured bonds, a brother's greed
[Verse 3]
Cain bore his punishment, heavy and grim
A mark of protection, granted by Him
The weight of his sin, a burden to bear
A reminder of his brother's despair
Wandering the land, forever marked
A life defined by the shadows stark
[Chorus]
Brother against brother, in the field
God's judgment spoke, their fate was sealed
Blood cried out from the earth below
A curse on Cain, a restless woe
[Bridge 2]
In the aftermath, a lesson learned
From Cain and Abel, the fire that burned
A tale of jealousy, sin, and strife
A warning of the cost of life
[Verse 4]
May we heed the story, its solemn call
To guard our hearts, never to fall
In envy's snare, in anger's grip
To seek forgiveness, from sin to strip
[Chorus]
Brother against brother, in the field
God's judgment spoke, their fate was sealed
Blood cried out from the earth below
A curse on Cain, a restless woe
[Outro]
Let the tale of Cain and Abel's fate
Remind us all before it's too late
To choose the path of love and grace
And find redemption in God's embrace
