Took off in the saddle A grey horse I did ride Was going to kill my brother Who once stood by my side Once like Cain and Abel We both made a sacrifice The Devil he took hold of me Said revenge had a price Now I'm doomed to wander Without an end in sight No mercy can be laid upon me No peace on earth I'll find I'm running East of Eden People, they pass me by Hop a train to the next station Pop a pill to kill the time From dust to dust they tell us But not for this old soul For I am doomed to wander No respite from the road Once like Cain and Abel We both made a sacrifice The Devil he took hold of me Said revenge had a price I came upon my brother In the dark of night His hands upon my lover So I took his life Can't say I feel sorry What I done was right Laid down with my lover So I laid down his life Sent him to that long black night Running East of Eden Riding that white line Off the rails and on my cycle Still riding through the night I came upon my brother In the dark of night His hands upon my lover So I paid the price And I'd gladly pay it twice
