about

This song is the perfect pop anthem for any project's montage, fight scene or just flat out trying to capture true swagger! The lyrics are inspired by the biblical story of Abraham and his struggle to choose between the "sheep or the sun" to pass god's test. It is both dark, inspiring and emotionally invoking. Filled to the rim with temptation and soul!

lyrics

Abraham, Plant your seed in the ground.
Abraham, better listen when you hear the sound.
Tell me Abraham, which do you prefer?

The Sheep or the son, the sheep or the son.

Hey old man, can you hear the voice is calling down.
Hey old man, its like sirens singing, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Tell me Abraham, which do you prefer?

The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son.


come on and listen, listen now.
Do you hear it? It's calling down.
Abraham make the choice,
when you hear the only voice singing,
oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh oh.
singing oh, oh oh oh. oh, oh, oh, oh.

The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son.
(Go on and tell me Abraham)
The sheep or the son.
(Now which do you prefer?)
The sheep or the son.

Now can yo hear the word,
it's calling down.
Can you feel the world, its' spinning round.
When you make the choice,
The only voice, the only sound.
(Screams!!)

The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son,
The sheep or the son.
