My Flightful Wanderings

“Abraham’s Daughter” Lyrics

Such Haunting and spine tingling lyrics….

♫“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” ♫

— A comment on youtube which I think PERFECTLY explains what the song means.

“Abraham - President Snow

Issac - The tributes offered every year

Abraham’s Daughter - Katniss

The Angel - The districts crying out

Abraham (Pesident Snow) was suppose to sacrifice his son Issac (The tributes) but Abraham’s daughter raised her voice (Katniss covering Rue’s body & the berries as an act of defiance) “how darest you child defy your father” (Katniss becoming the face of the rebellion) “you better let young issac go” (stopping the games & capitol) idk just a small interpretation”
