Generate meaning
1
Gather jewels from graveyards, when I get home bury them again
2
Wonder if you'll ever get the chance to ask me why I turned you in
3
I saved my own skin but I live to fight, I live to fight another day
4
Still remember how brave you were when they came to take you away
5
And I feel guilty but I can't feel ashamed
6
Prowl through empty fields, great Cain
7
Thought I'd seen the ghost up on the boulevard, between the broken bits
8
It's hard to tell gifts of the spirit from clever counterfeits.
9
Sleepwalk through my days and mark the hours until these dark times fade
10
Like a caterpillar crawling out along the surface of the blade
11
And I feel guilty but I can't feel ashamed
12
Prowl through empty fields, great Cain
13
Rummage through the gutted storehouse now
14
And lick the sweat from my brow
15
Saw the trucks roll out this morning, not sure when they're coming back again
16
Feel the prickings of my conscience in my chest ever now and then
17
Sometimes a great wave of forgetfulness rises up and blesses me
18
And other times the sickness howls and I despair of any remedy
19
And I feel guilty but I can't feel ashamed
20
Prowl through empty fields, great Cain
