The song is really about Cain "More... wanting much more Grasping with Envious Eyes Dark desires lead to words That cut like knives" Cain was jealous of Abel gain gods favor over his gift. It's Fire and Ice - make the Sacrifice No one there to catch you when you Fall It's Shadows and Sin - Enemies within You'll be fine, so cross the line and Damn it all He contemplated, he knew it was wrong but his feelings of envy and hate for brother was just too much and decided to lead him to a field to kill him. "Empty hands recoil... Fell your Blood begin to boil Tails and Fangs of Doom Violently consumed" The sin "murder" here is represented under the figure of a wild beast "Tails and Fangs of Doom" crouching at the door of the heart ready to pounce upon Cain. He just wasn't envious he hated him, feeling since he was the oldest he deserved God's blessing. Vengeance and Fury Screaming an eye for an eye Lashing out in Anger I curse the sky He was angry at God, though God gave him no reason why he chose Abel sacrifice over his. Wear this Mask of Fire And burn (burn) For all you've desired When God found out, he banished Cain from his parent's land, Cain accepts but adds he he will wander the earth until he is kill. God agrees he will wander until some kills him, but adds even more to his punishment, cursing him to live with a mark of fire warning if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over, that also protected him. The punishment will be atone for after seven generations. Hence the name of the song. |
