[00:00:00] Story Of Isaac - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Leonard Cohen

[00:00:19] When the door it opened slowly

[00:00:22] My father he came in

[00:00:25] I was nine years old

[00:00:29] And he stood so tall above me

[00:00:33] His blue eyes they were shining

[00:00:36] And his voice was very cold

[00:00:42] He said

[00:00:42] I've had a vision

[00:00:44] An he know I'm strong and holy

[00:00:46] I must do what I've been told

[00:00:51] So he started up the mountain

[00:00:54] I was running he was walking

[00:00:57] And his axe was made of burning gold

[00:01:10] Well the trees they got much smaller

[00:01:12] Yes

[00:01:13] The lake was like a lady's mirror

[00:01:15] When we stopped to drink some wine

[00:01:20] Then he threw the bottle over

[00:01:24] Broke a minute later

[00:01:26] And he put his hand on mine

[00:01:32] Thought I saw an eagle

[00:01:33] But it might have been a vulture

[00:01:37] I never could decide

[00:01:41] Then my father built an altar

[00:01:44] He looked once behind his shoulder

[00:01:48] He knew I would not hide

[00:02:00] You who build these altars now

[00:02:02] To sacrifice our children

[00:02:05] You must not do it anymore

[00:02:10] A scheme is not a vision

[00:02:13] And you never have been tempted

[00:02:15] By a demon or a God

[00:02:21] You who stand above them now

[00:02:23] Your hatchets blunt and bloody

[00:02:26] You were not there before

[00:02:30] When I lay upon a mountain

[00:02:33] And my father's hand was trembling

[00:02:36] When beauty I'm angle

[00:02:38] The beauty of the word

[00:02:49] And if you call me brother now

[00:02:51] Forgive me if I inquire

[00:02:54] Just according to whose plan

[00:03:00] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:03] I will kill you if I must

[00:03:04] I will help you if I can

[00:03:10] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:13] I will help you if I must

[00:03:15] I will kill you if I can

[00:03:19] And mercy mercy on our uniform

[00:03:23] Man of peace or man of war

[00:03:26] The peacock spreads his deadly fan
