I've been tryin' to tell you   About a thing I thought I saw   It came to me in a dream one night   When a voice began to call      I heard my name being summoned   As I looked around to see   A hooded judge and jury   There was no mercy there for me      Well, I can't make it, I can't figure it out   This dream is drivin' me crazy   I gotta know what it's all about   The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear      A cold wind's blowin', ooh, right down my back   I'm runnin, I'm runnin', I'm runnin'   From a figure that's dressed in black      I think my legs are made out of lead   'Cause I'm runnin' but I'm going nowhere   The bad dream's comin' closer and closer   I got a feelin' he'll always be there      Forever is a long time to spend in agony   And the demons of confusion   Have got a place for me   The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear      I was tired, so tired of runnin'   I had to turn and look around   I saw eyes that looked right through me   And a voice that made no sound      My body froze, I stood and stared   Unearthly face before me   From the depths of a hooded nightmare   I saw what could not be      Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see   There's no answer when there is no question   The mark of Cain bears hard on me
