Adam Raised a Cain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the summer when I was baptized My father held me to his side As they put me to the water He said that on that day I cried [Pre-Chorus] 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 runnin' in our veins [Chorus] Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain [Verse 2] All of the old faces Ask you why you're back They fit you with your position And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac [Pre-Chorus] In the darkness of your room your mother calls you by your true name You remеmber the faces, thе places, the names You know it's never over, it's endless as the rain [Chorus] Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] In the Bible, Cain slew Abel And east of Eden, Lord, he was cast You're born into this life payin' For the sins of somebody else's past [Pre-Chorus] Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain Now he walks these empty rooms lookin' for something to blame You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames [Chorus] Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain [Pre-Chorus] Lost but not forgotten, from the dark heart of a dream [Chorus] Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain Adam raised a Cain [Outro] Oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
