The Story Of Isaac - Roy Buchanan[00:00:00]
Well the door it opened slowly [00:00:38]
My father he came in [00:00:39]
I was nine years old [00:00:43]
And he stood so tall above me [00:00:48]
And his blue eyes they were shining[00:00:50]
And his voice was very cold [00:00:52]
He said "I've had a vision[00:00:58]
And you know I'm strong and holy [00:00:59]
I must do what I've been told "[00:01:03]
So we started up the mountain [00:01:08]
I was running he was walking [00:01:10]
And his axe was made of burning gold [00:01:14]
Well the trees they got much smaller [00:01:26]
Yes the lake a lady's mirror[00:01:28]
When we stopped to drink some wine [00:01:32]
Then he threw the bottle over [00:01:37]
Broke a minute later[00:01:38]
And he put his hand on mine [00:01:42]
Thought I saw an eagle[00:01:47]
But it might have been a vulture [00:01:49]
I never could decide [00:01:53]
Then my father built an altar [00:01:58]
He looked once behind his shoulder [00:02:01]
I guess he knew I would not hide [00:02:05]
You who build these altars now[00:02:30]
To sacrifice our children [00:02:32]
You must not do it anymore [00:02:35]
A scheme is not a vision[00:02:38]
And you never have been tempted[00:02:40]
By a demon or a god [00:02:44]
You who stand above them now [00:02:48]
Your hatchets blunt and bloody [00:02:51]
You were not there before [00:02:54]
When I lay upon a mountain[00:02:57]
And my father's hand was trembling[00:03:00]
With the beauty [00:03:03]
I mean the beauty of the word [00:03:05]
And if you call me brother now [00:03:22]
Forgive me but I must inquire [00:03:24]
"Just according to whose plan "[00:03:27]
When it all comes down to dust[00:03:30]
I will kill you if I must [00:03:33]
I will help you if I can [00:03:36]
When it all comes down to dust[00:03:41]
I will help you if I must [00:03:44]
I'll kill you if I can [00:03:46]
And mercy mercy on our uniform [00:03:52]
Man of peace man of war [00:03:55]
The peacock spreads his deadly fan[00:03:58]
