Isaac, Isaac I know you feel alone Your arms are weighed down by your sleeves And I can hear it in your tone As you whisper to the ground With the Lord of Civilisation Who drones and moans Of how we could never have a conversation Without the ground splitting in two Isaac, Isaac Forget her face The light and the paper can't hold her As you try so hard to trace With the charcoal dust on your finger When your pencil drops to the floor As you miss the hiss Off her shoes walking past the door As your tried to draw her blind Isaac, Isaac Lift up your eyes There is something burning in the distance Watch as your body in the fires And flashes of your face still spit in my mind and flick like the pages of a book Spoken and broken You give me a forlorn look And I am guilty from then on Isaac, Isaac Why must you die Just because the axe is made of Gold And there is no one else to try To understand the few little words That dance for the few who feel Mistaken and Forsaken To the point where they must kill Our son in the desert sand Isaac, Isaac Here am I The spades are buried and the clubs are beaten And here you must lie In the hot sand and my arm Isaac, Isaac I know you cannot be calm Isaac, behold, here I am Isaac, Isaac Please cry on my shoulder To put out the flame that burns the stone steps While the embers on your coat smoulder And light the hairs on your arm Keeping you warm in the night That burns and turns Until the dawn when you feel alright And leave my side Isaac, Isaac This is your life Brush the blood out of your blond hair You take the charge and knife And lead yourself to the hearts That belong to those who repent And face the disgrace Of the ugly who watch you relent On anger at the storm Isaac, Isaac This is your kingdom Built by your cold paragraphs Written at night, on the pages of freedom Sitting on the edges of silence Watched by the smaller giants They Dream and Scheme And covet in your triumphs Forged by your words Isaac, Isaac Run to the pyramids and wait In the evening when the shadows are condemned You think back on all the faces you'd hate As you get undressed in the dark And find someplace cold to lie Sleep or take the leap And swim in the oceans I cry Above the desert sand Isaac, Isaac Here am I The Diamonds are cut and the way has been lost There is nothing more I can try I won't hold you anymore Isaac, Isaac For you are the open door Isaac, behold, here I am
