Adam Raised A Chain lyrics
Adam raised a Cain
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
