lyrics

IN THE SUMMER THAT I WAS BAPTIZED MY FATHER HELD ME TO HIS SIDE
AS THEY PUT ME INTO THE WATER HE SAID HOW ON THAT DAY I CRIED
WE WERE PRISONERS OF LOVE
A LOVE IN CHAINS
HE WAS STANDIN IN THE DOORWAY I WAS STANDIN IN THE RAIN
WITH THE SAME HOT BLOOD BURNIN IN OUR VEINS
ADAM RAISED A CAIN

ALL OF THE OLD FACES AS 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 MAMA CAIN SLEW ABEL
AND EAST OF EDEN HE WAS CAST
YOU'RE BORN INTO THIS LIFE PAYING FOR THE SINS OF SOMEBODY'S ELSE'S PAST
WELL DADDY WORKED HIS WHOLE LIFE FOR NOTHING BUT THE PAIN
NOW HE WALKS THESE EMPTY ROOMS LOOKIN FOR SOMETHING TO BLAME
BUT 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
