Twist Of Cain
Danzig · Danzig [1988]
Ooh
I can feel it move me
Feel it shove me
As I break the law
Said yea
I can feel it's jabbing
Cuts the numbness then I
I come alive yea
Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does
Yea twist of Cain
yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
Said yea
I took it standing
Broke commandments
And he tumbled like a toy
Blood
Like a crimson highway
Spreading out
From his forehead to the ground
Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does
Yea twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
Wo-oh, yea
Wo-oh God above
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart, well
Wo-oh
Wanna know
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below, yea
Yae
I know my breeding
Know my father
He was born of light
Said yea
Can't hardly stand it
Cuts me down the middle
Then I
I come alive yea
Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does
Yea twist of Cain
yea drives myt brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
Come alive
Wo-oh, yea
Wo-oh
God above
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart, yea
Wo-oh
Wanna know
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below
Wo-oh, wo-oh
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart
Wo-oh, wo-oh
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below, yea
Twist Of Cain
From the seminal 1988 debut album Danzig, this track stands as a defining example of the artist's early gothic metal and black metal fusion. Performed by the enigmatic Samhain, the recording captures the raw, visceral energy characteristic of the late 1980s underground scene, blending industrial rhythms with haunting vocals. The song serves as a powerful introduction to the band's signature aesthetic, which would later evolve into the more polished production of Lucifuge and the experimental directions of subsequent works. As a cornerstone of Danzig's discography, it remains a critical listening piece for fans of extreme metal and alternative rock, embodying the dark, theatrical atmosphere that established the band's enduring legacy in the genre.
