Story Of Isaac

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Broke a minute later[00:01:16]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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