I cant believe all the people thinking this is about cocaine. Not hard to figure out though, the songs about committing murder, or the act of murder. Cain is referring to Cain and Abel and to Cain who was the first person to commit murder in the bible. Classic Glenn Danzig who was also a founding member of the Misfits and considered a founder of the "horror" subgenre of music.
I think Twist of cain is about a feeling you get before you kill someone, a feeling in your heart that has been in the human psyche since cain killed his brother. Cocaine would be to obvious for a song writer like danzig. Picture a murderer about to kill a victim, and right as he is about to pounce he get's a "twist of cain" in the heart, which gives him/her the courage to finish the job.

I Think You Two Children Should Shut Up It Shames Me That My Music Tastes Are Shared With Degenerate Imbosiles Like Yourselves, You Will Have To Grow Up Some Day Children...Why Not Save Yourselves Some Dignity And Do It Now...
Recent scientific studies find that Danzig is frickin' awesome.
I believe this song is a reference to the Bible. Cain and Abel were Adam and Eve's first two sons. Cain was jealous of Abel, so he killed him. God was pretty pissed at Cain, so he banished him, and put a mark on his forehead so no one would kill him.
This song has deep meaning and always makes you think. I guess it is about a man of power that lives in a time that controls the life and death of nameless people. He is so enthralled by the killing that it's described as him having the twist of cain inside his beating heart. He says his father was born of light. Can't hardly stand it... He is born from a ruler that he himself took his place and now ruling. He is not like his father. A cesar type ruler that held death shows in ampitheatres. The Cain reference is of course referring to what Cain did; being the first to kill another.
Yea, i see what you mean by that, but when it says 'cuts me down the middle' isn't that like chopping a line? I don't do coke, so i don't really know much about it, but that's what it sounds like.
@EdgeoftheWorld no that’s not like chopping a line That’s not what this song means at all talking about Cain from the Bible dude … Has nothing to do with drugs

Possibly...I'd always thought about it in a biblical sense...I never heard of cocaine being called cain, but, maybe the song is a metaphor using both biblical stuff and drugs.
Yea, that's true too. Cain just being the last fragment of the word anyway. But since i also don't know much about the bible, i couldn't tell ya.
well it does make sense to take it in the drug sense... Danzig doesnt really write about drugs much... but he does write about evil and biblical stuff so i think freefallenangel was rite on target
without a shodaow of a doubt this is about cain and abel....well bout cain......read the lyircs and read freefallenangel420's message......RIGHT ON THE FUCKING BUTTON!
