jordan page - sons of abraham lyrics

isaac said to ishmael, “i am the chosen one”
ishmael replied with confidence “but i’m the first born son”
and father abraham whose lack of faith was sure to blame
cast aside his older son and gave the younger boy his name
and from that day division has increased across the land
bloodshed and religion are both practiced hand in hand
fighting for ident-ty and a place to lay a claim
old abraham’s grandchildren fight eternally in vain

and everybody knows this kind of madness ends in pain
and the mighty judgment down the track will catch us all the same
and if you see the fireball descending from above
its just ishmael and his brother in the fight for daddy’s love

old memories that date back to the days after the flood
and a hatred born from abraham’s betrayal of his blood
while everybody is waiting for their savior to return
and if you don’t believe what they believe you’re gonna burn

and everybody knows this kind of madness always ends in pain
and the mighty judgment down the track will catch us all the same
and if you see the fireball descending from above
its just isaac and his brother in the fight for daddy’s love

now israel and palestine are ancient holy lands
where prophets walked and freely talked of brotherhood of man
and families on both sides of the fence can all agree
it’s their right to be there and they want their children to be free
but if the rockets blazing o’er the fences land in your backyard
and the look of wonder in your child’s face is burned and scarred
and the ceasefire in your belly has erupted into war
and the only peace you’ll ever find is settling the score

please remember that this kind of madness always ends with pain
and the mighty judgment down the track will catch us all the same
and if you see the fireball descending from above
its just isaac and his brother in the fight for daddy’s love
and if you look up and see the fireball racing ‘cross the sky
go ask isaac and his brother ishmael, to tell you why
