about

After playing the PC game the Binding of Isaac for, like, 80 hours, I felt the urge to revisit the Biblical story it's based on. This is the result.

lyrics

Slaughter

This world is filled with horror
Abomination beyond speech
Walls of shadows, halls of dust
From beyond, the unworldly screech

Show me your faith, little man
My will moulds your clay formed hands
For I am a selfish God on high
You must prove where your love lies

He will die
The angels will not cry
By your hand
At your loving God's command

Take him to the mountain
Bind him to the altar
Creator to son
He is the one
Be sure you do not falter

You will follow my words
Even though you are his father
Now end his life
Pick up the knife
This day will end in slaughter

They will recall this holy day
When in bondage your son was slain
Canon tells that he was saved
But apocrypha shows that you are still my slave

He will die
The angels will not cry
By your hand
At your loving God's command

Take him to the mountain
Bind him to the altar
Creator to son
He is the one
Be sure you do not falter

You will follow my words
Even though you are his father
Now end his life
Pick up the knife
This day will end in slaughter

Like a nightmare

Show me your faith, you little man
Show me your faith, you little lamb

Show me your faith, you little man
Show me your faith, you little lamb

He will die
The angels will not cry
By your hand
At your loving God's command

Do it

Take him to the mountain
Bind him to the altar
Creator to son
He is the one
Be sure you do not falter

You will follow my words
Even though you are his father
Now end his life
Pick up the knife
This day will end in slaughter
Slaughter
Slaughter

Slaughter

Now I know that you fear God
Now I know that you fear God
You fear God
You fear God
You fear me

Kill him
