Poor Isaac

歌詞

Oh and God, just leave that Abraham alone He wants a son, he wants a son Everybody wants a home Though I’m not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree “My God,” he said, “what did I do to make you wanna watch me bleed?” And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like The dancing flame on a funeral light And I’m not sure if I want you to save me And I’d be less uptight if I knew the sight of blood was just a weakness And not the whole reason that you made me Cause sometimes I think it is Oh and God, just go and leave me all alone I’m not your son, I’m not your son Everybody dies alone Was this world just not quite hard enough for you I guess like anyone you’ve got Your own scores to settle too And I’m so pissed tonight, I feel just like The last remaining Canaanite And I don’t think that I will be returning And if you wanna see the irony And the savage price of piety There’s a lot of us who are going to be burning How does it feel? And the sorrow that I know when I’m alone, I can’t express All these darling angels singing in my ear And the comfort of their touch, it cuts right through this emptiness And it’s everything I want and everything I fear But I don’t fear God That child was my friend I spent a long time with his curse I can feel him trembling beneath his plea I don’t know if there is water All I know is there’s this thirst And it might be for the best Though I’m not quite sure if Isaac would agree
