Eyes ablaze The knife held high above your Head is framed against the constellations While my back is splayed upon this altar Might you just reveal where this is headed?
I brought you to this pinnacle The height above the desert sea To wash away the blemishes In burning holy offering
I know you came from me Your blood is in these veins I know you came from me There can be no other way
Yes, relent, transcend Reverse this madness Call to mind the curse The pain that’s promised Search within and admit You cannot do this Wait, reflect, recall When she was barren?
You, my only progeny My tears may never ever cease I long to give you sweet release But I cannot disobey
Stay your steel and sheath the dagger You have shown this day Belief beyond your reason Gaze above and count Those lights, my heavens You gave his life Your wage is endless To trust is to obey
