ICIV - CAIN Lyrics

She told me life didn't end with death
Now I'm sweating bout what's next
Virulent and I'm swimming in the mess
Dogmatic, problematic there's a schism
And I think about the children, everywhere
That perish, without care, underneath
Empty skies, with no answer, no relief, no remorse and it doesn't sit right
Can't tailor any religion to make it fit right
Many nights I've prayed just to gain some insight
As to why, there's war and famine on the earth, why we hurt, why we suffer, why we kill, what's it worth
And they say, it's original sin, it's apart of your nature, deeper than your melanin
If there is a higher being, I think they lack empathy
Enemy you are without sacrifice exact
We're out of touch with no love or contact
Rise up just like Cain with no blood for their contract
Buried underneath the church is my people
Raise the underground and topple all steeples
Burn em in the outer dark it's all evil
It's time to raise hell and cause an upheaval
Buried underneath the church Is my people
Raise the underground and topple all steeples
Burn em in the outer dark it's all evil
It's time to raise hell and cause an upheaval
I used to go church and I paid my dues
Volunteered my time and tried to follow the rules
Then one day I decided to look, at worldly advice
All I wanted was to be well rounded Grounded in my faith, with strong roots
Sought the truth, I wanna understand my purpose and what to do
In this life, and their logic made sense
No burden of evidence, felt God's malevolence, all around
Good people dying young
Cancer in the lungs
Of all these little ones
Face judgement if you don't believe the son
Shunned, there's gotta be a way for us to have global peace
End the wars of religion see hate decrease
Understand one another and learn to love a brother
Compassion only we close that ancient chapter
See harmony on earth from now to here after
Buried underneath the church is my people
Raise the underground and topple all steeples
Burn em in the outer dark it's all evil
It's time to raise hell and cause an upheaval
Buried underneath the church is my people
Raise the underground and topple all steeples
Burn em in the outer dark it's all evil
It's time to raise hell and cause an upheaval
