Sinead O'Connor - Lullaby For Cain Lyrics

From the silence, from the night
Comes a distant lullaby.
Cry, remember that first cry,
Your brother standing by,
And love of loved
Beloved sons of mine.
Sing a lullaby.
Mother is close by.
Innocent eyes
Such innocent eyes
Envy stole your brother's life,
Came home murdered, peace of mind.
Left your nightmares on the pillow.
Sleep now

So surrendering your soul,
The heart in you not whole
For love, but love walked on
Cast into the dark
Branded with the mark.
Oh shame,
Of Cain.

From a garden of delight
To a wilderness of night.
Sleep now
sleep now
