Story Of Isaac

[00:13.76] The door it opened slowly
[00:15.46] My father he came in
[00:18.33] I was nine years old
[00:23.24] And he stood so tall above me
[00:26.84] Blue eyes they were shining
[00:30.12] And his voice was very cold
[00:34.07] Said I've had a vision
[00:37.88] And you know I'm strong and holy
[00:40.80] I must do what I've been told
[00:45.34] So we started up the mountain
[00:48.60] I was running he was walking
[00:52.57] And his axe was made of gold
[01:04.16] Well the trees they got much smaller
[01:07.37] The lake a lady's mirror
[01:10.67] We stopped to drink some wine
[01:15.23] Then he threw the bottle over
[01:18.60] Broke a minute later
[01:21.24] And he put his hand on mine
[01:26.60] Thought I saw an eagle
[01:29.22] But it might have been a vulture
[01:32.33] I never could decide
[01:36.24] Then my father built an altar
[01:39.44] He looked once behind his shoulder
[01:42.71] He knew I would not hide
[01:52.66] You who build the altars now
[01:58.28] To sacrifice these children
[02:00.86] You must not do it anymore
[02:04.59] A scheme is not a vision
[02:08.27] You never have been tempted
[02:11.85] By a demon or a god
[02:16.58] You who stand above them now
[02:19.84] Your hatchets blunt and bloody
[02:22.62] You were not there before
[02:26.93] When I lay upon a mountain
[02:29.88] And my father's hand was trembling
[02:33.37] With the beauty of the word
[02:42.65] And if you call me brother now
[02:47.96] Forgive me if I inquire
[02:50.85] Just according to whose plan
[02:55.54] When it all comes down to dust
[02:58.70] I will kill you if I must
[03:01.66] I will help you if I can
[03:06.91] When it all comes down to dust
[03:09.47] I will help you if I must
[03:12.23] I will kill you if I can
[03:16.78] Have mercy on our uniform
[03:19.91] Man of peace or man of war
[03:23.24] The peacock spreads his fan
[03:31.92]
