This a song called "The Story Of Isaac"
And it's about those who would sacrifice one generation on behalf of another
Well, the door it opened slowly
My father he came in
I was nine years old
And he stood so tall above me
And his blue eyes they were shining
And his voice was very cold
Said: "I've had a vision"
"And you know I'm strong and holy
I must do what I've been told"
So we started up the mountain
I was running, he was walking
And his axe was made of burning gold
Well, the trees they got much smaller
Yes, the lake a lady's mirror
When we stopped to drink some wine
Then he threw the bottle over
Broke a minute later
And he put his hand on mine
Thought I saw an eagle
But it might have been a vulture
I never could decide
Then my father built an altar
He looked once behind his shoulder
I guess he knew I would not hide
You who build these altars now
To sacrifice our children
You must not do it anymore
A scheme is not a vision
And you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god
Who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
You were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain
And my father's hand was trembling
With the beauty, I mean the beauty of the word
And if you call me brother now
Forgive me but I must inquire
"Just according to whose plan?"
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must
Kill you if I can
And mercy, mercy on our uniform
Man of peace, man of war
The peacock spreads his deadly fan
And it's about those who would sacrifice one generation on behalf of another
Well, the door it opened slowly
My father he came in
I was nine years old
And he stood so tall above me
And his blue eyes they were shining
And his voice was very cold
Said: "I've had a vision"
"And you know I'm strong and holy
I must do what I've been told"
So we started up the mountain
I was running, he was walking
And his axe was made of burning gold
Well, the trees they got much smaller
Yes, the lake a lady's mirror
When we stopped to drink some wine
Then he threw the bottle over
Broke a minute later
And he put his hand on mine
Thought I saw an eagle
But it might have been a vulture
I never could decide
Then my father built an altar
He looked once behind his shoulder
I guess he knew I would not hide
You who build these altars now
To sacrifice our children
You must not do it anymore
A scheme is not a vision
And you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god
Who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
You were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain
And my father's hand was trembling
With the beauty, I mean the beauty of the word
And if you call me brother now
Forgive me but I must inquire
"Just according to whose plan?"
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must
Kill you if I can
And mercy, mercy on our uniform
Man of peace, man of war
The peacock spreads his deadly fan
