There Are No Sons of Eden 2
Holy Abel could have killed,
if he'd had a sword.
Holy Abel could have killed,
if he'd loved the Lord.
Holy Abel never thought
to craft a shining blade
intended for his Brother's death.
Instead, was rams he gave.
Only Cain dreamed so dark
to win God's love through force.
Proving that he loved God best,
he killed without remorse.
And when God came
upon the scene
where Abel lay in blood,
and saw his eyes
as soft as lambs
that gazed at crimson suds,
He must have known at once was Cain
that came with fire and sword
to steal the love God freely gave
but sin could not afford.
And even then, God cradled Cain
for the sake of the world to come,
and told him that he loved him best
until his life was done.
