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.
