Lyrics

Abraham
Abraham
Where ya goin
With that knife in your hand?
Why are we lost in this foreign land?
Where are we going now
Abraham?

Abraham my father my son
Where will we be
When this day is done?
Shall I hide?
Or shall I run?
Who will see the morning sun?

Many are called
Few are chosen
Your faith will lie
Where the truth is spoken
Abraham my father my son
Can this ever be undone

Abraham
Abraham
What shall we do now
We have the truth?
What are we really trying to prove?
How will we ever heal these wounds?
Abraham
My father my son
Where will we be when this day's done?
Who will you embrace?
Who will be shunned?
Do not march to that ancient drum

Many are called
Few are chosen
The truth must lie
Where your faith is broken
Abraham my father my son
Can this ever be undone?

Abraham
Abraham
Who can say they've seen the night
Until they march at darkness side?
And gathered souls for eventide
Abraham
My father my son
Tell me now
The silence grows
In the empty streets
And the crowded roads
you should have told him no...
You should have told him, No...

Many are called
Few are chosen
Your faith will lie
Where the truth is broken
Abraham my father my son
Can this ever be undone?
