Hi! The lyrics of this song was written by Rightly and I've made the music and recorded it.
I decided to make a simple vocals and guitar recording with no fuss. The song has some rock potential but I focused on the vocal melody.
This is my first recording with a click track and bar measurement so feel free to point out if you hear any off beats or timing issues.
I used a lot of reverb to capture the haunting sounds of rock n roll and some sweet Old Testament anger. Too much?
Great lyrics to work with. I just had to make them sound heavy.

Of sound n' fury, live n' love thy misery
Daggers in the smiles both of foe and of friend
Thus were laid the laws of human nature, n' they don't change
The dye is cast from the first unto the last, with the...
The mark of Cain, angry and vain
The Mark of Cain
Rolling, rounded, running, a circle of blood and of grain
We never truly were forgiven, only smitten with the...
The mark of Cain, angry and vain: The Mark of Cain
