lirik lagu daniel kahn & the painted bird – story of isaac
the door opens slowly
my father he came in
i was nine years old
and he stood so tall above me
his blue eyes they were shining
and his voice was very cold
he said i had a vision
o, i’m strong and holy
o, i must do as i’ve been told
so he started up the mountain
i was running, he was walking
and his axe was made of gold
the trees, they got much smaller now
the lake a lady’s mirror
he stopped to drink some wine
and he threw the bottle over
it broke a minute latеr
and he put his hand on mine
i thought i saw an eaglе
but it might have been a vulture
i never could decide
and my father built an altar
he looked once behind his shoulder
he knew i would not hide
and you who build his altars now
to sacrifice these children
you must not do it any more
a scheme is not a vision
and you have never been tempted by a demon or a god
yes you who stand above them now
your hatchet’s blunt and bloodied
you were not there before
when i lay upon the mountain
and my father’s hand was trembling
with the beauty of the world
if you call me brother now
forgive me if i inquire
just according to who’s plan?
well it all comes down to dust
i will k!ll you if i must
i will help you if i can
well it all comes down to dust
i will help you if i must
i will k!ll you if i can
and mercy on uniforms
man of peace or man of war
the peac~ck spreads his fan
