[Verse 1]
Gather jewels from graveyards
When I get home, bury them again
Wonder if you'll ever get the chance
To ask me why I turned you in

[Verse 2]
I saved my own skin but I live to fight
I live to fight another day
Still remember how brave you were
When they came to take you away

[Chorus]
And I feel guilty
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields
Great Cain

[Verse 3]
Thought I'd seen a ghost up on the boulevard
Between the broken bits
It's hard to tell gifts of the spirit
From clever counterfeits

[Verse 4]
Sleepwalk through my days
And mark the hours until these dark times fade
Like a caterpillar crawling out
Along the surface of the blade
[Chorus]
And I feel guilty
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields
Great Cain

[Bridge]
Rummage through the gutted storehouse now
And lick the sweat from my brow

[Verse 5]
Saw the trucks roll out this morning
Not sure when, they're coming back again
Feel the prickings of my conscience in my chest
Every now and then

[Verse 6]
Sometimes a great wave of forgetfulness
Rises up and blesses me
And other times the sickness howls
And I despair of any remedy

[Chorus]
And I feel guilty
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields
Great Cain
