This song asks if it is easy or hard to carry the Mark of Cain? Could you kill? Would you ever want to?

Story behind the song
This is a Western movie in three short verses... or even maybe a modern gangster picture. You decide...
Lyrics
He leapt onto the platform from the train, Coat turned up to keep off the pouring rain. Strangers stepped aside, as if they guessed, as if they knew, What this solitary man was in their town to do, It ain't easy to carry the mark of Cain. Never know the hour - That death comes to stake his claim, Never know the stranger by name. Never hear the gunshot - Lodge the bullet in your brain - Ain't easy to carry the mark of Cain. I saw the stranger stood by the window pane, Deep in thought, planning some campaign. His snake like eyes studied every passing face, Ready to take away what he never could replace. It ain't easy to carry the mark of Cain. CHORUS Last night they found the corpse of Bobby Ray, "He had it coming." is what some people say. The stranger in our bar had risen with a grin, Leaving with a look that said "Murder was no sin" - (Maybe) it's too easy to carry the mark of Cain. CHORUS
