0:05Arcade Fire - Abraham's Daughter
0:26abraham took isaac's hand
0:32and led him to the lonesome hill
0:39while his daughter hid and watched
0:45she dared not breathe she was so still
0:53just as an angel cried for the slaughter

1:52how darest you child defy your father
1:58you better let young isaac go

Arcade Fire - Abraham's Daughter
abraham took isaac's hand
and led him to the lonesome hill
while his daughter hid and watched
she dared not breathe she was so still
just as an angel cried for the slaughter
abraham's daughter raised her voice
then the angel asked her what her
name was she said i have none
then he asked how can this be
my father never gave me one
and when he saw her raised for the slaughter
abraham's daughter raised her bow
how darest you child defy your father
you better let young isaac go
-END-
