Cain's Offering – Dawn Of Solace lyrics

Call me when the fire,
From the preacher's burning.
Guilt's in your eyes,
And you need someone to take the blame,
Once more, like you've done before.

So when you need a scape goat,
Just place the blame on me.
I never asked be anyone's hero,
I never asked to carry the torch.

I'm here for you to crucify,
Waiting for your lies,
To save me once more.

So let me take that cross from you,
I'll bury it like I always do.

Out of the night and into the light.
Where I swear my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I will ease your sorrow and greed.

Your burden, I will bare,
Your pain, I will share.
To you I will surrender.

But in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

Once more, the fool's will return,
To parade you and mock you,
Until they hate you for what you've become.
And you call me.

But I am overburdened,
And I can take no more.
I am what I am, but never before,
And no matter what, it'll settle the score.

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light.
Where I swore my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender.

And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

And dream, if only for a moment.
For we are of a dying kind.

You! You disparate me, rape me, hate me.
'Till there is nothing left worth saving.
My heart is cold and growing colder.
Now be a man, just wake me when it's over.

[Solo]

Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light.
Where I swore my allegiance.
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain.

No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender.

And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day.

And dream, if only for a moment.
For we are of a dying kind.
