Hijos de Caín

The Bible tells a story
That a terrible God dictated
The drama of two brothers
The just and the traitor

Abel petty and cowardly
The servant of his master
Cain who didn't play along
And rebelled

I curse you
The voice of his judge thunders
Our father
Who deprived us of Eden

Cain broke with a gesture
His yoke of slavery
He fled from the relentless eye
Carried his own cross

Persecuted
For breaking a law
He doesn't understand
And that doesn't count on him

You will suffer, you will die, this is his will
But still here
Children of Cain
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The lineage of the fugitive
Grew and multiplied
The mark that marginalizes them
Was never erased

I curse you
The children of Abel cry out
To the right
Of their lord the power

You will suffer, you will die, this is his will
But still here
Children of Cain
Oh!

Perhaps men are
At once Abel and Cain
Perhaps someday I will destroy the darkness within me
Destiny is not marked at birth
I have chosen to be what I will always be
Child of Cain!
Children of Cain!
Children of Cain!
Children of Cain!
