Lyrics
[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
