《The Story Of Isaac》歌词

[00:00:00] The Story Of Isaac - Roy Buchanan

[00:00:38] Well the door it opened slowly

[00:00:39] My father he came in

[00:00:43] I was nine years old

[00:00:48] And he stood so tall above me

[00:00:50] And his blue eyes they were shining

[00:00:52] And his voice was very cold

[00:00:58] He said "I've had a vision

[00:00:59] And you know I'm strong and holy

[00:01:03] I must do what I've been told "

[00:01:08] So we started up the mountain

[00:01:10] I was running he was walking

[00:01:14] And his axe was made of burning gold

[00:01:26] Well the trees they got much smaller

[00:01:28] Yes the lake a lady's mirror

[00:01:32] When we stopped to drink some wine

[00:01:37] Then he threw the bottle over

[00:01:38] Broke a minute later

[00:01:42] And he put his hand on mine

[00:01:47] Thought I saw an eagle

[00:01:49] But it might have been a vulture

[00:01:53] I never could decide

[00:01:58] Then my father built an altar

[00:02:01] He looked once behind his shoulder

[00:02:05] I guess he knew I would not hide

[00:02:30] You who build these altars now

[00:02:32] To sacrifice our children

[00:02:35] You must not do it anymore

[00:02:38] A scheme is not a vision

[00:02:40] And you never have been tempted

[00:02:44] By a demon or a god

[00:02:48] You who stand above them now

[00:02:51] Your hatchets blunt and bloody

[00:02:54] You were not there before

[00:02:57] When I lay upon a mountain

[00:03:00] And my father's hand was trembling

[00:03:03] With the beauty

[00:03:05] I mean the beauty of the word

[00:03:22] And if you call me brother now

[00:03:24] Forgive me but I must inquire

[00:03:27] "Just according to whose plan "

[00:03:30] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:33] I will kill you if I must

[00:03:36] I will help you if I can

[00:03:41] When it all comes down to dust

[00:03:44] I will help you if I must

[00:03:46] I'll kill you if I can

[00:03:52] And mercy mercy on our uniform

[00:03:55] Man of peace man of war

[00:03:58] The peacock spreads his deadly fan
