| 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 Abel
And 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. |
