Adam lyrics

Mockery of human, mockery of man

Ancient eldritch monster, terror of the land

Mockery of a beast standing on two legs

You should run, you should run

You should run away

Long ago in a land not far away

A doctor went out looking for a way

To bridge the gap between life and death

But he made a grave mistake

Piecing together a monster of a man

The doctor had formulated a plan

To stimulate the stitched-up corpse's brain

With lightning, thunder, and rain

Mockery of human, mockery of man

Ancient eldritch monster, terror of the land

Mockery of a beast standing on two legs

You should run, you should run

You should run away

But the so called "beast" just wanted affection

Yet his creator would only give him none

For he could not bear to look at that

Which he had brought to life

Learning quicker than his creator thought

The "beast", unloved, went out to town and wrought

Such havoc that the townspeople cried out

For the blood of the "beast"

Mockery of human, mockery of man

Ancient eldritch monster, terror of the land

Mockery of a beast standing on two legs

You should run, you should run

You should run away

All it wanted was somebody to love

Since its creator could never love it

It threatened to harm the doctor's loved ones

And its creator complied

But its soulmate was nothing but a trap

That its own creator had set up

To capture the "beast" and get rid of it

The doctor murdered and lied

Mockery of human, mockery of man

Ancient eldritch monster, terror of the land

Mockery of a beast standing on two legs

You should run, you should run

You should run away

From the mocking of the humans, mocking of the men

From the blatant monsters, terrors of the land

They are just like a beast standing on two legs

You should run, you should run

You should run away

Don't look back, don't look back

Just keep running 'way

You should run, you should run

You should run away
