《Story Of Isaac》歌词

[00:00:10] The door it opened slowly,

[00:00:14] My father he came in, was nine years old.

[00:00:22] And he stood so tall above me,

[00:00:25] His blue eyes they were shining

[00:00:28] And his voice was very cold.

[00:00:32] He said, I've had a vision

[00:00:38] And you know Im strong and holy,

[00:00:40] I must do what Ive been told.

[00:00:45] So he started up the mountain,

[00:00:50] I was running, he was walking,

[00:00:53] And his axe was made of gold.

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

[00:01:04] The lake a ladys mirror,

[00:01:07] We stopped to drink some wine.

[00:01:11] Then he threw the bottle over.

[00:01:16] Broke a minute later

[00:01:20] And he put his hand on mine.

[00:01:23] Thought I saw an eagle

[00:01:29] But it might have been a vulture,

[00:01:32] I never could decide.

[00:01:36] Then my father built an altar,

[00:01:41] He looked once behind his shoulder,

[00:01:45] He knew I would not hide.

[00:01:52] You who build these altars now

[00:01:56] To sacrifice these children,

[00:01:59] You must not do it anymore.

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

[00:02:08] And you never have been tempted

[00:02:11] By a demon or a god.

[00:02:15] You who stand above them now,

[00:02:21] Your hatchets blunt and bloody,

[00:02:24] You were not there before,

[00:02:28] When I lay upon a mountain

[00:02:32] And my fathers hand was trembling

[00:02:36] With the beauty of the word.

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

[00:02:54] Forgive me if I inquire,

[00:02:57] Just according to whose plan?

[00:03:01] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:06] I will kill you if I must,

[00:03:09] I will help you if I can.

[00:03:13] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:19] I will help you if I must,

[00:03:21] I will kill you if I can.

[00:03:26] And mercy on our uniform,

[00:03:31] Man of peace or man of war,

[00:03:35] The peacock spreads his fan.
