Lyrics
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 standing in the door, I was standing in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins

Adam raised a Cain, raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain, 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 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, raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain, 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, raised a Cain

Lost but not forgotten
From the dark heart of a dream
Adam raised a Cain

Now I'm sad. This vid reminds me all over again how much I hated to see this series cancelled.

[nicole_anell]

Ahh, I agree! So much potential, though I still feel like they got a lot into one season.

[frith_in_thorns]

This is so awesome! :D I love these girls, and I am still so gutted that this show was cancelled. The song is such a perfect choice for them and I loved the progression of them learning to become powerful. PERFECT vid. Thank you so very very much!!

[nicole_anell]

I already responded to your comment in the signed post but YAY SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. <3

[chaila]

This is so musically and visually smart, I cannot deal with it. The cover is amaaaaaaazing and the connections between the clips are so pretty and precise. I didn't even watch this show, but your themes, mixing up all the young girls and robots, are still so clear. So beautifully done!

[nicole_anell]

APPROPRIATE ICON IS APPROPRIATE. *cough* I so appreciated your thoughts on this before and after it was posted! Cannot <3 you enough!

[thuviaptarth]

This is a great examination of the girls' response to their fathers, the fathers' response to the girls, and girls' responses to each other. And I love the robot hug at the end.

[nicole_anell]

I couldn't resist the robot hug. :) Thank you so much, you've actually made the other Zoe/Lacy/Tamara vid that I adore, so that means a lot to me!

[laurashapiro]

This is just gorgeous to look at, and I really like the marriage of this song and these images.

[nicole_anell]

Thank you so much!!

[isagel]

This is such a wonderful look at the father/daughter relationships of the show, at how the new life-forms grow out of their parents' love and failures at love, at how the actions of the children reflect where they came from. Beautifully done!

[nicole_anell]

Wow, thank you for this lovely comment, those are definitely ideas I was going for so I'm happy they came through!

[franzeska]

I've never seen the source, so it was great to see such a clear progression in their stories.

[nicole_anell]

Yay, thank you! I'm really glad the evolution worked for you without seeing the series!
