Story Of Isaac

[00:11.46] The door it opened slowly
[00:14.40] My father he came in
[00:17.38] I was nine years old
[00:22.18] And he stood so tall above me
[00:25.51] Blue eyes they were shining
[00:28.37] And his voice was very cold
[00:33.80] Said I've had a vision
[00:36.45] And you know I'm strong and holy
[00:39.34] I must do what I've been told
[00:44.05] So we started up the mountain
[00:46.77] I was running he was walking
[00:50.17] And his axe was made of gold
[00:56.23]
[01:02.54] Well the trees they got much smaller
[01:06.17] The lake a lady's mirror
[01:09.67] We stopped to drink some wine
[01:13.58] Then he threw the bottle over
[01:16.53] Broke a minute later
[01:16.73] And he put his hand on mine
[01:20.93]
[01:24.68] Thought I saw an eagle
[01:26.96] But it might have been a vulture
[01:30.02] I never could decide
[01:34.27] Then my father built an altar
[01:37.32] He looked once behind his shoulder
[01:40.26] He knew I would not hide
[01:45.69]
[01:54.00] You who build the altars now
[01:56.17] To sacrifice these children
[01:58.63] You must not do it anymore
[02:03.66] A scheme is not a vision
[02:06.46] You never have been tempted
[02:09.61] By a demon or a god
[02:14.59] You who stand above them now
[02:17.03] Your hatchets blunt and bloody
[02:19.92] You were not there before
[02:24.67] When I lay upon a mountain
[02:27.42] And my father's hand was trembling
[02:30.83] With the beauty of the word
[02:36.63]
[02:43.04] And if you call me brother now
[02:45.73] Forgive me if I inquire
[02:48.69] Just according to whose plan
[02:54.19] When it all comes down to dust
[02:57.09] I will kill you if I must
[02:59.26] I will help you if I can
[03:04.36] When it all comes down to dust
[03:07.13] I will help you if I must
[03:09.54] I will kill you if I can
[03:14.74] Have mercy on our uniform
[03:17.72] Man of peace or man of war
[03:21.17] The peacock spreads his fan
[03:25.43]
