Kansas - Mysteries And Mayhem lyrics

Album: Masque (1975)

Well I am trying to tell you about a thing I thought I saw
It came to me in a dream one night
When a voice began to call
I heard my name being summoned as I looked around to see
A hooded judge & jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well I cannot make it, I just can´t figure it out
This dream is drivin´ me crazy
I´ve got to know what it is all about
The mark is upon me, & the mark of Cain brings fear

A cold wind´s blowin´ right down my back
I am runnin, I am runnin´ from a figure that is dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
Cause I am runnin´ but I am going nowhere
The bad dream is coming closer & closer
I got a feelin´ he will always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion have got a place for me
The mark is upon me, & the mark of Cain brings fear

I was tired, so tired of runnin´
I had to turn & look around
I saw eyes that looked right through me
And a voice that made no sound
My body froze & I stood & stared, unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare, I saw what could not be
Mysteries & mayhem from the pinnacle I see
Theres no answer when theres no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
