The Mark of Cain

Not that I am one to brag, but mine's a tale that must be told

As legend has preceded me, when I was born I broke the mould

Queens have sat before my feet, Kings have thrown me all their gold

Understand that this is who I am, I will never come in from the cold

Of curses known I bear them all, my soul is marked with stains

You will cower at the thought of me for I am a bringer of so much pain

Abel is this cross I bear as I walk the path of Cain

All photos are from my own collection.
