Adenine
Adenine, the preacher's golden son asleep in pulpit one, never felt the need to cry
Before he spoke, he knew the strength of hope That faith's an illusion and glory a lie.
A little healthy fear, will keep our savior near That's what his father preached, the day before he died and who can say, what made the poison take, there was venom in his veins you know, but rapture in his eyes
Do you question glory? Could the faithless form a line? We've got hop for sale: Kentucky's sacred child Adenine
Times were hard Down by the old churchyard the preacher's wife led Adenine skipping through the mud
To the waiting man, she said you'll understand there's kindness in the child's heart, but poison in his blood. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
In the falling fain, she watched them pull away She waited for light bolt, she held out for the flood
In the years to come, he'd learn to trust no one, but the bully-faced announcer and the gold and silver gods
They came from near and far, to see Kentucky's star, the preacher's golden child, with the venom in his veins,
and they called it faith The Savior kept him safe Trick or intervention, sometimes it's all the same
And they left restored Doubt and suspicion cured Angels walk among us and the rise above the flames
Still he showed no fear, each time the snakes drew near Hell had found him long before he's lie down in the grave
