Tema

Una reflexión oscura y teológica sobre el origen de la violencia y el pecado, comenzando con la historia bíblica de **Caín y Abel** como el 'primer relato de la muerte'. Argumenta que la humanidad ha sido inherentemente violenta desde el principio, y que el 'pecado acecha en el umbral' de toda acción humana, independientemente de los conflictos modernos.

Letra

This is the first tale of death in the world When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken Since then mankind's dominated his own kind To insult and injure, There's no such thing as peace Till death do us part, till the last Truth be told Sin lies at the doorway Truth be told Hell's open for business now Truth be told The soil cries out for revenge Truth be told And death is upon the ground All around The battle ain't over without spoils of war Just cause it is written does not make it so When you dance with the devil Wait till the songs over I ask myself 'how bad do I want you to live?' My anger is near, till the last Truth be told Sin lies at the doorway Truth be told Hell's open for business now Truth be told The soil cries out for revenge Truth be told And death is upon the ground All around Tribulation strikes and we're hit hard Still you just go on your way Head in the sand, ignoring the rain Just like the flood in Noah's day In his day Can't punish those ruining the earth It's suicide to some degree Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin There will be no peace, never for you and for me Before al Qaeda and Bin Laden Long before Hitler and Hussein Ever since the first murder was committed The verdict's always been the same The cursed future just repeats the past There's hell to pay and stones to cast So, there will be no peace, never be peace Till the last truth be told by you and me
