Mysteries and Mayhem Songtext
I′ve been tryin' 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
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well, I can′t make it, I can't figure it out
This dream is drivin' me crazy
I gotta know what it′s all about
The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind′s blowin', ooh, right down my back
I′m runnin, I'm runnin′, I'm runnin′
From a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
'Cause I′m runnin′ but I'm going nowhere
The bad dream′s comin' closer and closer
I got a feelin′ he'll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion
Have got a place for me
The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
I was tired, so tired of runnin′
I 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 and stared
Unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare
I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see
There's no answer when there is no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
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
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well, I can′t make it, I can't figure it out
This dream is drivin' me crazy
I gotta know what it′s all about
The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
A cold wind′s blowin', ooh, right down my back
I′m runnin, I'm runnin′, I'm runnin′
From a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
'Cause I′m runnin′ but I'm going nowhere
The bad dream′s comin' closer and closer
I got a feelin′ he'll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion
Have got a place for me
The mark is upon me and the mark of Cain brings fear
I was tired, so tired of runnin′
I 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 and stared
Unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare
I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see
There's no answer when there is no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
