- Abraham's Daughter Lyricsabraham 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
Arcade Fire – Abraham's Daughter
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
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

Facts about Abraham's Daughter
✔️
Abraham's Daughter is written by T. Bone Burnett, Regine Chassagne, Edwin F. Butler.
✔️
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, Arcade Fire's song 'Abraham's Daughter' takes an innovative approach to the narrative of Abraham and Isaac by letting the daughter of Abraham narrate the event. It is a heavy and rather dark tale that dares to question some traditional views and openly supports the main characters’ moral struggle by portraying sacrificial love as the ultimate highest ground. The girl's point of view, in contrast with the other biblical figures, mainly sheds light on the topics of liberation, power, rage, isolation, and love loss. Moreover, the piece also highlights the values of opposition and rebellion, identity and self-discovery, and finally the moral dilemma of sacrifice. The lyrics, besides tackling the notions of sacrificial love and rebellion, may be perceived as rather strong for a younger audience. The imagery of a kid led to possible death and the accompanying emotional turmoil suggests a threshold of mature content that necessitates parents’ guidance.

Isaac is either prim or Peeta, Abraham is either Snow or the game makers, the daughter is Katniss, and the angle is either Snow or the game makers

Abraham (the games) takes isacc (district trubutes) and sends him to the arena to fight alone until katniss raises her voice and becomes the mockingjay. The angel could be snow or the capital people.

Bible story, but its like its condemning it. the angel is crying for isaac's death, and the girl saves isaac, but gets no credit for it. probably how it actually happened too.

This song is about Abram's sacrifice of his son Isaac. It's a modern lyrical interpretation of the bible story and what happened in it. However, it is used as a method of symbolism in The Hunger Games

It is all about Katniss and The Hunger Games. Katniss is the daughter, the angel is Snow, Abraham is the gamemakers, and Isaac is the Districts.
