Leonard Cohen 02 Story Of Isaac Lyrics
The door it opened slowly
my father he came in
I was 9 years old
And he stood so tall above me
Blue eyes they were shining
and his voice was very cold
Said "I've had a vision
and you know I'm strong and holy
I must do what I've been told
So he started up the mountain
I was running he was walking
and his eyes was made of gold
Well, the trees they got much smaller
the lake ladies mirror
we stopped to drink some wine
Then he through the bottle over
Broke a minute later
and he put his hand on mine
Thought I saw an eagle,
but it Might have been a vulture
I never could decide
Then my father built an alter
he looked once behind his shoulder
he knew I would not hide
You who build the alters now
to sacrifice these children
You must not do it anymore
The scheme is not a vision
and you never have been tempted
by a demon or a God
You who stand above them now
your hatchets blond hand b_____
you were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain
My fathers hand was trembling
with the beauty of the word
And if you call me brother now
forgive me if I inquire
just according to whose plan
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill 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 will kill you if I can
And mercy on our uniform
Man of peace or man of war
The peacock spreads his fan
