C#5
  Blessed be the Daughters of Cain,

Bound to suffering eternal through the sins Of their fathers committed long before their conception

C#5
Blessed be their whore mothers,

Tired and angry waiting with bated breath In a ferry that will never move again

C#5
Blessed be the children,

Each and every one come To know their god through Some senseless act of violence

C#5
Blessed be you, girl, promised to me by a man

Who can only feel hatred and contempt towards you

C#5
I am no good nor evil, simply I am,

And I have come to take what is mine

C#5
I was there in the dark

When you spilled your first blood

C#5
I am here now as you run from me still

C#5
Run then, child

You can't hide from me forever
