Long Slow Distance lyrics

Caine:
Alone in the darkness I can hear the sweetest voice
whispering words of surcease and I rejoiced!
Who would dare speak to one so condemned as I?
Do you know of my most wicked crime?

Lilith:
I'm known as Lilith, your fahter's first bride
Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.

Caine:
How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?
Without a sole companion or a friend of some form?

Lilith:
But there are many companions in my infinite kingdom.
Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom.

Caine:
I was cold and she clothed me,
I starved and she fed me,
I was mournful yet she loved me.
I shed bloody tears and she made them
disappear she kissed away my fears.
Her powers I could see would forever
set me free I begged her to awake me.
Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank
she would sigh then I closed my eyes.

Into the dark I fell and fell a deepest abyss
surrounded by obscurity a price for her gift.

Out from the frigid blackness came a radiant glimmering light
revealing the flaming archangel known as Michael

Micheal:
Cursed son of Adam, indeed His mercy is great
bow thy head and repent thine sins now before it's too late.

Caine:
Not by His grace but my own,
I choose to live with pride
your merciful God disgusts me
his Kingdom infested with lies.

Micheal:
You sad irreverent fool have thee no shame?
Tou shall forever fear the light of the Living Flame.

Caine:
On the morning by silver wing Raphael came to me and said
Abel did firgive me not by his (forgiveness) but mine own
for darkness is my home.

I walk alone, my skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned
and the dawn had returned to earth below
I did run seeking shelter from the sun
the endless night of Caine had begun.

When I awoke, Uriel appeared
the reaper with black wings
but thrice denied his grace
hence, my blood-curse begins hellip.
