    Verse 1
    The 
    door 
    had 
    opened 
    slowly, 

    my 
    father 
    he 
    came 
    in, 
    I was 
    nine 
    years 
    old 

    And 
    he 
    stood 
    so 
    tall 
    above 
    me, 
    his 
    blue 
    eyes 
    they 
    were 
    shining, 

    and 
    his 
    voice 
    was 
    very 

    cold. 

    He 
    said, 
    I've 
    had 
    a 
    vision, 
    and 
    you 
    know 
    I'm 
    strong 
    and 
    holy, 

    I 
    must 
    do 
    as 
    I've 
    been 
    told. 

    So 
    he 
    started 
    up 
    the 
    moun
    tain, 
    I 
    was 
    running, 

    he 
    was 
    walking, 
    and 
    his 
    axe 
    was 
    made 
    of 
    gold. 

    The 
    trees, 
    got 
    much 
    smaller, 
    like 
    a 
    lady's 
    mirror, 

    we 
    stopped 
    and 
    drank 
    some 
    wine. 

    Then 
    he 
    threw 
    the 
    bottle 
    over, 
    broke 
    a 
    minute 
    later
    , 

    and 
    he 
    put 
    his 
    hand 
    on 
    mine. 

    I 
    thought 
    I 
    saw 
    an 
    eagle, 
    but 
    it 
    might 
    have 
    been 
    a 
    vulture, 

    I 
    nev
    er could 
    decide. 

    Then 
    my 
    father 
    built 
    an 
    altar, 
    looked 
    once 
    behind 
    his 
    shoulder, 

    he 
    knew 
    I 
    would 
    not 
    hide. 

    You 
    who 
    build 
    these 
    altars 
    now, 
    to 
    sacrifice 
    these 
    children, 

    you 
    must 
    not 
    do 
    it 
    any
    more. 

    For 
    a 
    scheme 
    is 
    not 
    a 
    vision, 

    an
    d 
    you 
    never 
    have 
    been 
    tempted 
    by 
    a 
    demon 
    or 
    a 
    god. 

    You 
    stand 
    above 
    them 
    now, 
    your 
    hatchet's 
    blunt 
    and 
    bloody, 

    you 
    were 
    not 
    there 
    before. 

    When 
    I 
    lay 
    upon 
    the 
    moun
    tain, 

    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 
    ac
    cording 
    to 
    who's 
    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
    . 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    our 
    uniform, 
    man 
    of 
    peace 
    or 
    man 
    of 
    war, 

    peacock 
    spreads 
    his 
    fan.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
