lirik lagu suzanne vega – story of isaac
the door it opened 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’ve had a vision, you know i’m strong and holy
i must do as i’ve been told.”
so we started up the mountain
i was running, he was walking
and his axe was made of gold
the trees they got much smaller
the lake a lady’s mirror
we stopped and drank some wine
then he threw the bottle over
it broke a minute later
and he put his hand on mine
i’d thought i’d saw an eagle
but it might have been a vulture
– i never could decide
then my father built an altar
he looked once behind his shoulder
he knew i would not hide
and you who build these altars now
to sacrifice these children
you must not do it anymore
a scheme is not a vision
and you never have been tempted
by a demon or a god
you that stand above them now
your hatchet’s blunt and bl–dy
you were not there before
when i lay upon the mountain
and my father’s hand was trembling
with the beauty of the word
and if you call me brother now
forgive me if i enquire just according to who’s plan
when it all comes down to dust
i will k!ll you if i must
i will help you if i can
when it all comes down to dust
i will help you if i must
i also k!ll you if i can
have mercy on our uniform
man of peace or man of war
the peac-ck spreads his fan
