This song is about the Biblical figure Abraham. It tells the story of Abraham on Mount Moriah, going to sacrifice his son as commanded by God but being stopped by an angel before he could bring down the knife. (See Genesis 22.) Instead, he sacrifices a ram in place of his son, since he has proved his devotion to God. The ram, and all subsequent animal sacrifices, were to atone for man’s sins until the ultimate sacrifice provided by Jesus rendered animal sacrifice unnecessary.

This song is reminiscent of the Catholic practice of venerating the saints (though Abraham is not a saint) and is consistent with the Christian themes present in the rest of the album.
