Cover art for Story of Isaac lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Abraham was tested by God. His mission was Holy, but God wouldn't let him sacrifice Isaac. In today's world, there are those who sacrifice our children by means of war for profit. Abraham's thoughts were, no doubt, I will kill you if I must...I will help you if I can. But those who put our children on the altar of war for profit...I think God will help them if He can, but kill them if He must. And the peacock spreads his fan...
