East of Eden

Took off in the saddle
A grey horse I did ride
Was going to kill my brother
Who once stood by my side

Once like Cain and Abel
We both made a sacrifice
The Devil he took hold of me
Said revenge had a price

Now I'm doomed to wander
Without an end in sight
No mercy can be laid upon me
No peace on earth I'll find

I'm running East of Eden
People, they pass me by
Hop a train to the next station
Pop a pill to kill the time

From dust to dust they tell us
But not for this old soul
For I am doomed to wander
No respite from the road

Once like Cain and Abel
We both made a sacrifice
The Devil he took hold of me
Said revenge had a price

I came upon my brother
In the dark of night
His hands upon my lover
So I took his life

Can't say I feel sorry
What I done was right
Laid down with my lover
So I laid down his life
Sent him to that long black night

Running East of Eden
Riding that white line
Off the rails and on my cycle
Still riding through the night

I came upon my brother
In the dark of night
His hands upon my lover
So I paid the price
And I'd gladly pay it twice
