Adam Raised A Cain lyrics
In the summer that I was baptized,My father held me to his
side,As they put me to the water,He said how on that
day I cried.We were prisoners of love, a love in
chains,He was standin' in the door, I was
standin' in the rain,with the same hot blood burning
in our veins,Adam raised a Cain.All of the old
faces,Ask you why you're back,They fit you with
position,And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac,In the darkness of your room,Your mother calls you by
your true name,You remember the faces, the places, the
names,You know it's never over, it's relentless
as the rain,Adam raised a Cain.In the Bible
Cain slew AbelAnd East of Eden he was cast,You're born into this life paying,for the sins of
somebody else's past,Daddy worked his whole life, for
nothing but the pain,Now he walks these empty rooms,
looking for something to blame,You inherit the sins, you
inherit the flames,Adam raised a Cain.Lost but
not forgotten, from the dark heart of a dream,Adam raised
a Cain.
