Abraham:

"I've climbed the highest mountain

I've traveled across this land

All my deeds by God's command

After all we said

After all I've done

Has it come to this

Killing my own son?!

To build this altar of bones

Build this altar of blood

All in greater cause

All in greater sacrifice"

The altar boys:

"Devoted acts of madness

Crazed acts of belief

Who is this god to say

This boy is to be killed?"

Isaac:

"My life

Given to god

My death

Could it be all wrong?"

Abraham (to the altar boys):

"On this path we must carry on alone

Am I to slay

My only son

Can I really be

The chosen one?

Endless sorrow

Immortal grief

My heart now shattered

As I give you this gift"

God:

"Don't send your hand at the boy!

For now I know

You are the one

Now you must spare

Your only son

For many you'll have

Like the sand of the sea

This testament now sealed

Between you and me"

Abraham:

"After all is said

After all is done

It has come to this

Keeping my only son"
