The promise

Lyrics

Verse 1 (Abraham’s Anguish):**
*The knife’s cold kiss on my boy’s soft throat,*
*Fire in my veins, but I choked on hope.*
*“*God will provide*”—the lie I rehearsed,*
*As Isaac’s tears turned the desert to cursed.*
*His voice, a tremor: *“Where’s the lamb, Dad?”*
*The wood on his back screamed *“This is the plan, Dad.”*

**Chorus (Divine Echo):**
***But the Promise was a ram in the thorns—***
*A bleeding pause in the oath I’d sworn.*
*Yet miles ahead, on a hill split wide,*
*God would slice His heart, not mine, that tide.*
***The knife fell once… then fell again—***
*My son spared, His Son slain.*

**Verse 2 (Isaac’s Shadow):**
*I felt the rope bite, smelled the altar’s char,*
*My father’s face—a cracked altar jar.*
*But the ram’s horns twisted into a crown,*
*And the wood I carried… became a town.*
*Years later, I’d see that mountain’s twin,*
*Where God’s Boy climbed, pierced for my sin.*

**Bridge (God’s Whisper):**
***“Abraham, you couldn’t lift the blade—***
*But I’ll gut the sky till the debt’s repaid.*
*Your son’s a flicker; Mine’s the Flame,*
*The Lamb who dies in the sinner’s name.*
***The Promise bleeds through Isaac’s seed—***
*Watch My Boy breathe… then watch Him bleed.”*

**Breakdown (Golgotha’s Cry):**
*(Screams over dissonant strings)*
***“ELI, ELI!”*** *The altar’s roar—*
*No ram this time, just a thorn-cursed door.*
*God’s knife plunged deep in His ribs, His soul,*
*While Abraham’s mountain screamed *“Paid in full!”*

**Chorus (Redemption’s Mirror):**
***The Promise was a cross in the storm—***
*Love’s jagged gasp where the nails took form.*
*Isaac’s rope became the thief’s last plea,*
*“*Remember me… in Your agony.*”
***The knife fell twice—then shattered time—***
*Your son lives, because He died for mine.*

**Outro (Resurrection Refrain):**
*(Whispered over a fading piano)*
*The fire’s ash, the ram’s dead breath,*
*But Sunday dawned where Friday bled.*
*The Promise breathes, the tomb’s a womb—*
*His Boy lives… so mine could bloom.*
