Lyrics Barkhammer - The Mark Of Cain

Barkhammer

Visions of betrayal
Promises not kept
Incrementally drawn deeper
Into a situation I didn’t want
But addiction dies hard
And the thrill of the chase
My only excuse
No chance to escape
The build up over time
Not seen, not heard
My actions alone
Is this really about the past?
Is it my own weakness?
Is it control and fear of actions?
When you know it’s wrong
Even as you drive there
You can’t go back
You can’t go back
I can’t go back
Not after all that’s been said
I can’t go back
Not after all I’ve done
It’s too close in here
Even now I can’t stand, can’t turn around
Can’t exit this time
You can’t go back
You can’t go back
You can’t go back
You can’t go back
Leave the ghosts behind
I can’t go back
Even if I wanted to
I can’t go back
So don’t fucking push me
You can’t go back
Oh what have I done?
Oh what have we done?
Was forgiveness ever on the table?
Was it only someone
Someone else’s idea of salvation
I cannot go back
Not now, not ever
You can’t go back
