《Story of Isaac (Live)》歌词

[00:04:11] Story of Isaac - Leonard Cohen

[00:04:11] The door it opened slowly

[00:04:11] My father he came in

[00:04:11] I was nine years old

[00:04:11] And he stood so tall above me

[00:04:11] His blue eyes they were shining

[00:04:11] And his voice was very cold

[00:04:11] He said "I've had a vision

[00:04:11] And you know I'm strong and holy

[00:04:11] I must do what I've been told "

[00:04:11] So he started up the mountain

[00:04:11] I was running he was walking

[00:04:11] And his axe was made of gold

[00:04:11] Well the trees

[00:04:11] They got much smaller

[00:04:11] The lake a lady's mirror

[00:04:11] We stopped to drink some wine

[00:04:11] Then he threw the bottle over

[00:04:11] Broke a minute later

[00:04:11] And he put his hand on mine

[00:04:11] Thought I saw an eagle

[00:04:11] But it might have been a vulture

[00:04:11] I never could decide

[00:04:11] Then my father built an altar

[00:04:11] He looked once behind his shoulder

[00:04:11] He knew I would not hide

[00:04:11] You who build these altars now

[00:04:11] To sacrifice these children

[00:04:11] You must not do it anymore

[00:04:11] A scheme is not a vision

[00:04:11] And you never have been tempted

[00:04:11] By a demon or a god

[00:04:11] You who stand above them now

[00:04:11] Your hatchets blunt and bloody

[00:04:11] You were not there before

[00:04:11] When I lay upon a mountain

[00:04:11] And my father's hand was trembling

[00:04:11] With the beauty of the word

[00:04:11] And if you call me brother now

[00:04:11] Forgive me if I inquire

[00:04:11] "Just according to whose plan "

[00:04:11] When it all comes down to dust

[00:04:11] I will kill you if I must

[00:04:11] I will help you if I can

[00:04:11] When it all comes down to dust

[00:04:11] I will help you if I must

[00:04:11] I will kill you if I can

[00:04:11] And mercy on our uniform

[00:04:11] Man of peace or man of war

[00:04:11] The peacock spreads his fan
