The Cainian Chronicle Part I: The Curse - Ancient

Black clouds fill the day sky

In the primitive lands of Nod

As the two sons of Adam offer up Their gifts (of pride) to the one reigning high

A dark fate born by sacrificial fire

Caine: 'Oh, great father of my father

Whom thou banished from thy garden

Look down upon thy faithful servant

And accept my beloved brother.'

With tears of love the firstborn thrust

His sharpest scythe deep into Abel’s heart

Rendering him lifeless but eternally

Prized in the mind of god as his body withered

In the scorching blaze

Caine: 'Oh, my dear brother

Forgive me for what I have done

But to the one almighty

A greater prize I have none.'

Adam: 'Caine, thou has broken my seal of absolute love

The crime thou’st committed meets not

The approval of him above

Forever shall you wonder in the lands beyond alone

And from this day forth I cannot call thee my own.'

Caine: 'Oh, father my great father

Why hast thou cursed me so?

Have I not done what thou asked for?

To the shadowed woods I cannot go.'

Adam: 'I can no longer endure thy sinful words

This greatly unmerciful deed hast done his wrong

I pray that thou find ways to repent
