BETRAYING THE MARTYRS LYRICS

1. Out Of Egypt

Out of Egypt !

To the Negev with his wife and everything he had
People destroyed by their past had first built an altar
Moving for your dreams and went straight to that place
Where the Voice appeared to him
There Abram called on the name of Lord

Now Lot who was moving about with Abram
Also became wealthy and waited for more

And now you run away (you run away)
Avoid our face to face (our face to...)
You’ll go right, I will go left
To earn my land

Lift up your eyes from where you are and look around you
That land you see I will give to you
I pledge a tide of smiles forever

And now, that land you see
You walk across the eyes of God (the eyes of God)

And now...

Now Lot who was moving about with Abram
Also became wealthy and waited for more

And now you run away (you run away)
Avoid our face to face (our face to...)
You’ll go right, I will go left
To earn my land

Lift up your eyes from where you are and look around you
That land you see I will give to you
I pledge a tide of smiles forever

Abram moved his heart and went to live near the tree
Where he built an altar to praise the love of God

He walked across the eyes of Lord where the Voice appeared to him :
God !

2. The Covenant

The Lord appeared to Abram
Under the tree of Mamree
Do not be afraid, I'm your shield

"O sovereign Lord"
You have given me no children
Until my corpse and my name will be forgotten

Lord, my reward is just my estate
If indeed you, you can count them and my son will be the servant from my household
Beneath the sky through the eyes of the slaves

When no one cared for us, only your hands could protect our dreams
My descendants will be enslaved by your fault
As the light fades, darkness comes over him
However let your father go in peace
Near the river God protects your offspring
There are no tears in this nation

When the sun has set and my prayers are burning
A smoking and blazing torch appears, passed between the pieces

As the lights burn in the sky,
A star, a child
When the sun had set and died,
You prayed for this night

The Lord appeared to Abram,
Under the tree of Mamree
Do not be afraid I'm your shield

"O sovereign Lord",
You have given me no children
"O sovereign Lord"
Until my name be forgotten
Beneath the sky
There are no tears in this nation

3. The Righteous With The Wicked

When the men stood up and left
The lloked down toward Sodom
Abraham walked among them to see them in their way
Shall I hide from him ?
What am I supposed to do ?
I pray / Become the father of all nations

This is my way, God
All nations on earth will be blessed through Him
Be this way, for Him, be right and just
And the Lord will bring all the light on their way

Then the Lord said "son"
Will kill the righteous with the wicked ?
Then the Lord screamed "son"
And tell me why would you do such a thing ?

Abraham,
All nations on earth will be blessed through you
Abraham,
With you hand you'll bless a new land

If not, I will know
Can't you hear the voice of my Lord
When He swears to give us a chance ?
Can't you hear the voice from the sinner
When he asks to be blessed through the sky ?

What if there were fifty righteous people in this city ?
Would You sweep them away and didn't spare this place for sake ?

Show me what is right and just, show me peace through your eyes
Could I pray for them and forgive all their sins ?

Then the Lord said "son"
Will kill the righteous with the wicked ?
Then the Lord screamed "son"
And tell me why would you do such a thing ?

This is my way, God
All nations on earth will be blessed through Him
Be this way, for Him, be right and just
And the Lord will bring all the light on their way

God walk through the land
Go breath of the land
This promised earth
I will give it to you

And God has said :
"If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom
I will spare the whole place for their sake"

4. The Hurt, The Divine, The Light

Abraham ! Here I am
Take your son Isaac to the mountain
Abraham ! Here I am
Bring the sacrifice asked in Moriah

He had cut enough wood for the sacrifice
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw
Where Isaac was supposed to die

Speak up and say where are the offering
He listened up and asked for : is it for love or a sacrifice
God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering
Then he reached out his hand and took a knife to slay his son

On the Lord’s mountain it will be provided
I wear by myself declared the Lord
Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed
And I will surely bless your son

Abraham ! Here I am
Take your son Isaac to the mountain
Abraham ! Here I am
Bring the sacrifice asked in Moriah

Then Abraham returned to his servants
Then set off together for Beersheba

You’ve obeyed me
You offered me your son
And now I swear I will surely bless you
You have not withheld your son
I will surely bless you

5. Being Your Servant

The Lord said to Abram
Leave your country, your people
Your father’s household
And go to the land I will show you

He will make you into a great nation
He will bless you and make your name so great
How your hands can make a sign
And wash the sins off your message ?
People follow the laws and curses of believer
Being your servant is an honor my God but can your hear ?

The screams of our heart
Just let them follow their way

Travelling through the land
As far as the site of that great Tree
I built an altar there
To the Lord who appeared to me

And I say : I will follow your way
Leave them to go away
I promise to stay, my Lord
And I say : I will follow your way
Leave them to go away
I promise to stay, my Lord

I say : I will follow your way
Leave them to go away
I promise to stay, my Lord

My Lord

Travelling to this land so far
What have you done to me
