Lyrics

[00:20.202] Oh and God just leave that Abraham alone
[00:24.684] He wants a son, he wants a son
[00:27.515] Everybody wants a home
[00:29.930] Though I'm not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree
[00:34.139] My God, he said "What did I do
[00:36.741] To make you wanna watch me bleed?"
[00:40.537] And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like
[00:43.035] The dancing flame on a funeral light
[00:45.246] And I'm not sure if I want you to save me
[00:49.373] And I'd be less uptight if I knew the sight
[00:52.307] Of blood was just a weakness
[00:54.751] And not the whole reason that you made me
[00:58.251] But sometimes I think it is...
[01:08.084] Oh and God just go and leave me all alone
[01:12.723] I'm not your son, I'm not your son
[01:15.124] Everybody dies alone
[01:17.717] Was this world just not quite hard enough for you?
[01:22.201] I guess like anyone, you've got
[01:24.674] Your own scores to settle too
[01:26.867] And I'm so pissed tonight, I feel just like
[01:29.776] The last remainin' Canaanite
[01:32.121] And I don't think that I will be returning
[01:36.018] And if you wanna see the irony
[01:38.874] And the savage price of piety
[01:41.178] There’s a lot of us who are going to be burning
[01:45.324] How does it feel?
[01:55.361] And the sorrow that I know
[01:56.966] When I’m alone, I can’t express
[01:59.781] All these darling angels singing in my ear
[02:04.615] And the comfort of their touch
[02:06.235] It cuts right through this emptiness
[02:09.194] And it’s everything I want and everything I fear
[02:17.963] But I don’t fear God
[02:41.366] That child was my friend
[02:43.050] I spent a long time with his curse
[02:46.060] I can feel him trembling beneath his plea
[02:50.735] I don’t know if there is water
[02:52.754] All I know is there’s this thirst
[02:55.521] And it might be for the best
[02:57.499] Though I’m not quite sure if Isaac would agree
[03:03.232]
