Cain's Offering is a Finnish power metal supergroup that formed in 2008.
Cain's Offering was formed by former Sonata Arctica members Jani Liimatainen and Mikko Härkin, Stratovarius singer Timo Kotipelto, Norther and Wintersun bass player Jukka Koskinen and drummer Jani Hurula. Their debut album Gather the Faithful was released in July 2009 through the Japanese label Avalon. All music and lyrics were written by Liimatainen. On June 25 the band announced that they've signed a deal with Frontiers Records and that their debut album will be released on August 28 in Europe and on September 11 in the USA.
Many fans were asking about a tour, and this is what Jani said in an interview with "Power of Metal":
In June 2014, a new official Facebook page was created for Cain's Offering, and Jani mentioned that he plans to have a new Cain's Offering album written by September - according to him, he has four songs almost finished, and four more that he composed with Kotipelto. At least two of them would be used in a future album by Cain's Offering or Stratovarius.
I did not hear the warning
I did not see the sign
Youre the master of illusion
You're the devil in disguise
Temptress in lace and leather
You make me lose control
One sinful night and I just lost my heart and lost my
soul
I was the one to hold you
But not the only one
I hear you say you're sorry
But some things cannot be undone
I try so hard to forget
Try so hard to forget
I try to understand but it's too late to make amends
Don't come here asking for forgiveness for the things
you've done
Don't point your finger at me, because you are the
fallen one
Thorn in my side
Forever hurting me
You're my fantasy
For the night
Please stay here close to me
I'll play the clown, you strike me down again
Still searching for my pieces
Still so out of control
One piece is always missing
And I don't know how to fill that hole
Still I dont know the answer
or what the question is
Don't know how we got here
But I don't want it to end like this
Thorn in my side
Forever hurting me
You're my fantasy
For the night
Please stay here close to me
I'll play the clown, you strike me down again
Still i want to touch you
Still I long to hold you
Still I need to feel you
Right here by my side
and still i cannot have you
still you are too wild and free
and still i cannot answer that you are not meant for me
Thorn in my side
Forever hurting me
You're my fantasy
For the night
Please stay here close to me
I'll play the clown, you strike me down again
Still i want to touch you
Still I long to hold you
Still I need to feel you
Right here by my side
Still i want to touch you
Still I long to hold you
Still I need to feel you
Right here by my side
