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

Written by：Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

He said[00:00:42]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes[00:01:12]

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

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

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

Broke a minute later[00:01:24]

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

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

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

I never could decide[00:01:37]

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

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

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

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

To sacrifice our children[00:02:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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