Well, the trees they got much smaller

Then my father built an altar

F G A
he knew I would not hide.
You who build these altars now
To sacrifice these children,
you must not do it any more.
A scheme is not a vision
and you never have been tempted
By a demon or a god.
You who stand above them now
Your hatchets blunt and bloody,
You were not there before
When I lay upon a mountain
And my father's hand was trembling
With the beauty of the word.
And if you call me brother now
Forgive me if I inquire
Just according to whose plan.
When it all comes down to dust
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can.
When it all comes down to dust
I will help you if I must
I will kill you if i can.
And mercy on our uniform,
Man of peace or man of war
the peacock spreads his fan.
