Shoulders of Cain Lyrics

You gave me my name
You needed someone to blame
so you took it away
You gave me my name
But you took it away from me
took it away
On the shoulders of Cain
The weight is passed down again
Abel's absence of stain
Was the cause of his pain
On the shoulders of Cain
What price for my birth?
I should've never come first
What was I worth?
What price for my birth?
Oh what was it worth to thee
What was I worth?
On the shoulders of Cain
The weight is passed down again
Abel's absence of stain
Was the cause of his pain
On the shoulders of Cain

Father
You turned your back
Mother
You didn't turn back
Brother
My name is sin, now breathe it in
And breathe me in
On the shoulders of Cain
The weight is passed down again
Abel's absence of stain
Was the cause of his pain
On the shoulders of Cain
