Current song lyrics
The door it opened slowly, <br />my father he came in, <br />i was nine years old. <br />and he stood so tall above me, <br />his blue eyes they were shining <br />and his voice was very cold. <br />he said, "i've had a vision <br />and you know i'm strong and holy, <br />i must do what i've been told." <br />so he started up the mountain, <br />i was running, he was walking, <br />and his axe was made of gold. <br />Well, the trees they got much smaller, <br />the lake a lady's mirror, <br />we stopped to drink some wine. <br />then he threw the bottle over. <br />broke a minute later <br />and he put his hand on mine. <br />thought i saw an eagle <br />but it might have been a vulture, <br />i never could decide. <br />then my father built an altar, <br />he looked once behind his shoulder, <br />he knew i would not hide. <br />You who build these altars now <br />to sacrifice these children, <br />you must not do it anymore. <br />a scheme is not a vision <br />and you never have been tempted <br />by a demon or a god. <br />you who stand above them now, <br />your hatchets blunt and bloody, <br />you were not there before, <br />when i lay upon a mountain <br />and my father's hand was trembling <br />with the beauty of the word. <br />And if you call me brother now, <br />forgive me if i inquire, <br />"just according to whose plan?" <br />when it all comes down to dust <br />i will kill you if i must, <br />i will help you if i can. <br />when it all comes down to dust <br />i will help you if i must, <br />i will kill you if i can. <br />and mercy on our uniform, <br />man of peace or man of war, <br />the peacock spreads his fan.
