[Verse 1] Cain, oh Cain, why’d you raise that stone? We both brought our best, but I walked home alone You looked at the altar, then you looked at me And I saw the fire... before the jealousy [Verse 2] I never said a word, I never stole your pride But the field grew cold when you stepped to my side Your hands were shaking, your voice was gone And I knew my time had come all along [Chorus 1] Now I’m down in the dust But I ain’t done cryin’ My blood still sings Like thunder lyin’ You can cover your hands You can silence the ground But the Lord heard it all When I went down [Verse 3] The earth took my body, but not my song Your curse walks with you, it won’t be long No mark can hide you, no field can grow Where a brother’s blood won’t start to show [Chorus 2] Yes, I’m deep in the clay But I’m still testifying My blood still sings And the sky’s still sighin’ You can wander the land You can bury the sound But the truth came callin’ When I went down [Outro – soft, final line] And God still walks Where the blood ran red
