The Cainian Chronicle Part II: Lilith’s Embrace

'Alone in the darkness I can hear

The sweetest voice

Whispering words of surcease

And I rejoiced!

Who would dare speak to one so

Condemned as I?

Do you know of my most wicked crime?'

'I'm known as Lilith, your father's first bride

Like you I'm cursed to dwell in the shadows of night.'

'How can one survive here in the dark groves forlorn?

Without a sole compainion of a friend of some form?'

'But there are many compainions in my infinite kingdom.

Through magick and sorcery I've found my freedom.'

'I was cold and she clothed me, I starved

And she fed me, I was mournful yet she loved me.

I shed bloody tears and she made them dissapear

She kissed away my tears

Her powers I could see would forever set me free

I begged her to awake me

Her blood, sweet as wine, as I drank she would sigh

Then I closed my eyes

Into the dark I fell and fell

Surrounded by obscurity

A price for her gift

Out from the frigid blackness

Came a radiant glimmering light

Revealing the flaming archangel

Known as Michael'

'Cursed son of Adam

Indeed his mercy is great

Bow thy head and repent thine sins now

Before it's too late.'

'Not by his grace but my own,

I choose to live with pride

Your 'merciful' god disgusts me

His kingdom infested with lies.'

'You sad irrelevant fool

Have thy no shame?

You shall forever fear the light

Of the living flame.'

'On the mornign by silver wing

Raphael came to me and said

Abel did forgive me

Not by his (forgiveness) but mine own

For darkness is my home

I walk alone

My skin would burn by the sun's rays I learned

And the dawn had returned to earth below

I did run seeking shelter from the sun

The endless night of Caine had begun

When I awoke, Uriel appeared

The reaper with black wings

But thrice denied his grace

Hence, my blood-curse begins...'
