<br />
<br />
<br />
The door it opened slowly, <br />
<br />
My father he came in, <br />
<br />
I was nine years old. <br />
<br />
And he stood so tall above me, <br />
<br />
His blue eyes they were shining <br />
<br />
And his voice was very cold. <br />
<br />
He said, "i`ve had a vision <br />
<br />
And you know I`m strong and holy, <br />
<br />
I must do what i`ve been told." <br />
<br />
So he started up the mountain, <br />
<br />
I was running, he was walking, <br />
<br />
And his axe was made of gold. <br />
<br />
Well, the trees they got much smaller, <br />
<br />
The lake a lady`s mirror, <br />
<br />
We stopped to drink some wine. <br />
<br />
Then he threw the bottle over. <br />
<br />
Broke a minute later <br />
<br />
And he put his hand on mine. <br />
<br />
Thought I saw an eagle <br />
<br />
But it might have been a vulture, <br />
<br />
I never could decide. <br />
<br />
Then my father built an altar, <br />
<br />
He looked once behind his shoulder, <br />
<br />
He knew I would not hide. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You who build these altars now <br />
<br />
To sacrifice these children, <br />
<br />
You must not do it anymore. <br />
<br />
A scheme is not a vision <br />
<br />
And you never have been tempted <br />
<br />
By a demon or a god. <br />
<br />
You who stand above them now, <br />
<br />
Your hatchets blunt and bloody, <br />
<br />
You were not there before, <br />
<br />
When I lay upon a mountain <br />
<br />
And my father`s hand was trembling <br />
<br />
With the beauty of the word. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And if you call me brother now, <br />
<br />
Forgive me if I inquire, <br />
<br />
"Just according to whose plan?" <br />
<br />
When it all comes down to dust <br />
<br />
I will kill you if I must, <br />
<br />
I will help you if I can. <br />
<br />
When it all comes down to dust <br />
<br />
I will help you if I must, <br />
<br />
I will kill you if I can. <br />
<br />
And mercy on our uniform, <br />
<br />
Man of peace or man of war, <br />
<br />
The peacock spreads his fan.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/story_of_issac_lyrics-mirah.html" target='_blank'>STORY OF ISSAC lyrics MIRAH</a></pre>

( Leonard Cohen )

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 axe was made of gold.

Well, the trees they got much smaller,

The lake a lady`s mirror,

We stopped to drink some wine.

Then 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,

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 bloody,

You were not there before,

When I lay upon a mountain

And my father`s 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.
