Story of Isaac

[00:10.52] The door it opened slowly
[00:13.53] My father he came in
[00:16.28] I was nine years old
[00:21.17] And he stood so tall above me
[00:25.25] Blue eyes they were shining
[00:27.59] And his voice was very cold
[00:32.63] Said I've had a vision
[00:35.27] And you know I'm strong and holy
[00:38.06] I must do what I've been told
[00:42.75] So we started up the mountain
[00:45.93] I was running he was walking
[00:49.35] And his axe was made of gold
[00:55.41]
[01:01.74] Well the trees they got much smaller
[01:05.60] The lake a lady's mirror
[01:08.26] We stopped to drink some wine
[01:12.97] Then he threw the bottle over
[01:16.81] Broke a minute later
[01:18.79] And he put his hand on mine
[01:23.85] Thought I saw an eagle
[01:26.61] But it might have been a vulture
[01:29.63] I never could decide
[01:33.91] Then my father built an altar
[01:36.87] He looked once behind his shoulder
[01:40.89] He knew I would not hide
[01:46.32]
[01:52.99] You who build the altars now
[01:55.79] To sacrifice these children
[01:58.22] You must not do it anymore
[02:03.33] A scheme is not a vision
[02:06.38] You never have been tempted
[02:08.85] By a demon or a god
[02:14.45] You who stand above them now
[02:16.70] Your hatchets blunt and bloody
[02:19.59] You were not there before
[02:23.42] When I lay upon a mountain
[02:27.08] And my father's hand was trembling
[02:30.15] With the beauty of the word
[02:35.95]
[02:42.72] And if you call me brother now
[02:45.91] Forgive me if I inquire
[02:48.22] Just according to whose plan
[02:54.09] When it all comes down to dust
[02:57.07] I will kill you if I must
[02:59.15] I will help you if I can
[03:04.44] When it all comes down to dust
[03:07.01] I will help you if I must
[03:09.45] I will kill you if I can
[03:14.30] Have mercy on our uniform
[03:17.78] Man of peace or man of war
[03:21.16] The peacock spreads his fan
[03:25.42]
