I′ve been trying to tell you
About a thing I thought I saw
It came to me in a dream one night
When a voice began to call
I heard my name being summoned
As I looked around to see
The hood had turned into rain
There was no mercy there for me
Well, I can't make it
I can′t figure it out
This dream is driving me crazy
I got to know what it's all about
Ooh, the mark is upon me
And the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind is blowing
Ooh, right down my back
I'm running, I′m running, I′m running
From a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
Because I′m running but I'm getting nowhere
My bad dreams coming closer and closer
I get a feeling it′ll always be there
Forever is a long time
To spend in agony
And the demons of confusion
Have got a place for me
Ooh, the mark is upon me
And the mark of Cain brings fear
I was tired, so tired of running
Had to turn and look around
I saw eyes that looked right through me
And a voice that made no sound
My body froze, I stood instead
And a face laid before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare
I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem
And from the pinnacle I've seen
There′s no answer when there is no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
