The First Shadow: Blood of My Brother

[Intro: Low, earthy drum pulse. Ethereal crystal flute] [Verse 1 - Cain: Deep, gravelly Baritone, very slow] הֶבֶל רֹעֵה צֹאן, וַאֲנִי עֹבֵד אֲדָמָה The earth is hard, my heart is heavy with stone I bring my fruit, but the smoke won't rise Why is the favor only in your eyes? לָמָּה נָפְלוּ פָנֶיךָ? הקול שואל אותי But the envy is burnin', cold and lonely [Verse 2 - Abel: Angelic Male Tenor, pure and light] קַיִן אָחִי, הַמִּנְחָה הִיא מֵחֶלְבֵיהֶן Look at the light, it’s shinin' on us both Why is your hand tremblin' on the plow? There is love for us, here and now נָקוּמָה וְנֵלֵךְ אֶל הַשָּׂדֶה I’m your brother, Cain... don't be afraid [Chorus: Dramatic Dark Soul Fusion] (Cain - Low): הֲשֹׁמֵר אָחִי אָנֹכִי? (Abel - High): Your shadow is coverin' the sun (Cain - Heavy): וַיָּקָם קַיִן אֶל הֶבֶל אָחִיו (Together): THE BLOOD IS CRYING FROM THE GROUND (Choir): קוֹל דְּמֵי אָחִיךָ צֹעֲקִים אֵלַי מִן הָאֲדָמָה [Bridge: Distorted Blues Guitar trades with Weeping Violin] [Outro: Divine Narrator - Authoritative God-like Voice] (Voice): Every war is a war between brothers. (Voice): Every field is soaked in the same blood. (Voice): אָרוּר אָתָּה מִן הָאֲדָמָה... אֲשֶׁר פָּצְתָה אֶת פִּיהָ. (Choir): (Shadows... blood... brothers...)
