leonard cohen – story of isaac (live in berlin) كلمات اغاني
this is a song called “story of isaac” and it’s about those who would sacrifice one generation on behalf of another
well, the door it opened slowly
my father he came in, i was nine years old
and he stood so tall above me
and his 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 ax was made of burning gold
well, the trees they got much smaller
yes, the lake was like a lady’s mirror
when we stopped to drink some wine
and he threw 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 altar
he looked once behind his shoulder
i guess he knew i would not hide
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 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, i mean the beauty of the word
and if you call me brother now
forgive me, but i must inquire
“just according to whose 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’ll k!ll you if i can
and mercy, mercy on our uniform
man of peace, man of war
the peac-ck spreads his fan
