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