Sinead O'Connor - Lullaby for Cain lyrics

rate me

From the silence, from the night

comes a distant lullaby.

Cry--remember that first cry,

Your brother standing by.

And lot of loved-- beloved sons of mine.

Sing a lullaby; mother is close by.

Innocent date-- such innocent eyes!--

Envy stole your brothers life.

Came home murdered piece of mind.

Left you nightmares on the pillow.

Sleep now...

Soul-- surrendering your soul.

The heart you not whole.

For love, but love walked on.

Cast into the dark.

Branded with the mark--

of shame; of Cain.

From a garden of God's light,

to a wilderness of night.

Sleep now; sleep now...
