about

Adam is a song about the redemption of mankind from the fall, through the death of the Son and into our final defeat of that great enemy of mankind, Satan.

It's based off of Genesis 3:15 where God says to Satan, "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

This is the first single of three, with the intention of rolling them into a successful Kickstarter to fund a full record.

lyrics

That first man Adam
Was a piece of work
He traded royalty for shame

That first man Adam
Was a liar and a thief
Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

That first woman Eve
Was the mother of all life
She passed the sin down through her blood

That first woman Eve
Was the first to be deceived
She gave into the serpent now we sing

Do what the serpent said

Then there came a woman
Who bore the son of God
Lowly she laid down her life for love

Her son was born in pain
To rbing all men great gain
She stepped on the serpent now we sing

Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head
No it's not done yet
Step on the serpent's head

That second man Adam
Lived a perfect life for me
Then he finished it right there upon the tree

That second man Adam
Went down into the pit
Then he crushed that little snake under his heel

Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head

There will come a time
When the ones he bought by blood
Will be forever glorified

We'll throw that devil
Straight into the pit of hell
The saints will come together and we'll sing

Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head
No he's not done yet
We're gonna step on

Step on the serpent's head
Step on the serpent's head
You bite my heel, I'll crush your head
Step on
Step on the serpent's head
