You were an off-white Heading east and on the loose What of your old life? Does it bear consequence to you? You met a good wife In seven years she would come true Flesh of my own flesh Blood of my blood, what did you do? Blood of my blood, what did you do? What did you do?
You met a dark night When you had earned your right to move Was it your own right? Or was it chosen there for you? Behold the morning The light came shining in the room Your bride of weak eyes Now is your turn to play the fool Now is your turn to play the fool You play the fool
You did some hard time Seven nights for seven years A man with two wives The youngest one has gained your ear The lord has chosen One is able one is tied A man with two lives Neither one is satisfied Neither one is satisfied Are you satisfied?
You led a hard life Work your hands until they bleed Until the time's right To take your wives and sheep and leave But your deceiver's Household gods are standing by The fear of isaac Of abraham is on your side Abraham is on your side
Heap and pillar Put it there before you leave A pillar So that everyone can see The pillar Where you went west and he went east The pillar Put it there before you leave
As if to show Neither one of you can lead As if to show Anyone of you deceives As if you know Now the tribes are of your seed
As if you know The fear of isaac does not leave As if you hope The fear of isaac does not leave And yes, you hope The fear of isaac does not leave Yes, you hope
