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.

L’été où j’ai été baptisé
Mon père m’a pris à ses côtés
Tandis qu’ils me plongeaient dans l’eau
Il m’a dit combien, ce jour, j’avais pleuré
Nous étions prisonniers de l’amour, un amour enchaîné
Il était debout à la porte, j’étais debout sous la pluie
Le même sang chaud brûlait dans nos veines
Adam éleva Caïn

Perdu mais pas abandonné, du plus profond d’un rêve
Adam éleva Caïn
