The Residents - Cain And Abel lyrics

Blood drowns the ground
Blood drowns the ground
Yes, blood drowns the ground, 'cause
You didn't need me

The wind blew his hair as I looked up to see
The shadows of birds as they flew over me
Standing in silence, I watched how the blood
Turned into a puddle of crimson and mud
Like the dirt by the river my brother was cold
But the sunset was scarlet and purple and gold

I needed you
I needed you
Yes, I needed you, but
You didn't need me

Now I must wander away
Now I must wander away
Now I must wander far away
But when he looked up at me
And cried
I wasn't thinking, not thinking that soon
I will be alone
