story of isaac - mighty poplar lyrics

[verse 1]
well 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
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 ax was made of gold

[verse 2]
the trees they got much smaller
the lake a lady’s mirror
we stopped to drink some wine
then he threw the bottle ovеr
it broke a minute later
and hе put his hand on mine
well i thought i saw an eagle
but it might have been a vulture
you know i never could decide
then my father built an altar
he looked once behind his shoulder
for he knew i would not hide
[verse 3]
so you who build the altars now
to sacrifice these children
you must not do it anymore
for a scheme is not a vision
and you never have been tempted
by a demon or a god
oh you who stand above them now
your hatchets blunt and bl**dy
you were not there before
when i lay upon a mountain
and my father’s hand was trembling
with the beauty of the word

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
and so if you call me brother now
forgive me if i inquire
“just according to whose plan?”
when it all comes down to dust
i’ll k!ll you if i must
but i will help you if i can
yes when it all comes down to dust
i’ll help you if i must
i will k!ll you if i can
so have mercy on our uniform
man of peace or man of war
the peac*ck spreads his fan
there i lay upon a mountain
and my father’s hand was trembling
with the beauty of the word
