Abraham took Isaac's hand
And led him to the lonesome hill
While his daughter hid and watched
She dare 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 dearest you, child, defy your father
You'd better let young Isaac go

The Secret Sisters - Tomorrow Will Be Kinder
Black clouds are behind me, I now can see ahead
Often I wonder why I try hoping for an end
Sorrow weighs my shoulders down
And trouble haunts my mind
But I know the present will not last
And tomorrow will be kinder
Tomorrow will be kinder
It's true, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
Today I've cried a many tear
And pain is in my heart
Around me lies a somber scene
I don't know where to start
But I feel warmth on my skin
The stars have all aligned
The wind has blown, but now I know
That tomorrow will be kinder
Tomorrow will be kinder
I know, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
Often I wonder why I try hoping for an end
Sorrow weighs my shoulders down
And trouble haunts my mind
But I know the present will not last
And tomorrow will be kinder
Tomorrow will be kinder
It's true, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
Today I've cried a many tear
And pain is in my heart
Around me lies a somber scene
I don't know where to start
But I feel warmth on my skin
The stars have all aligned
The wind has blown, but now I know
That tomorrow will be kinder
Tomorrow will be kinder
I know, I've seen it before
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder
A brighter day is coming my way
Yes, tomorrow will be kinder

Neko Case - Nothing To Remember
I spent my life becoming invisible
It's hard to maintain and it's hard to get by
I don't recall, fight or flight setting in
I had no introduction
I just breathe it in like the air
And there's nothing to remember
There is nothing to remember
I owe you nothing
That's all I've got for you
And you'll borrow nothing
That's what you expect of me
So you send me a love
Out of thin sailor's knots
And I fear underneath the weight of your thoughts
My footsteps now they won't echo too loudly
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I'll give you those
You told me something that scared me to death
Don't take me home
I can't face that yet
I'm ashamed that I'm barely human
And I'm ashamed that I don't have a heart you can break
I'm just action
And other times reaction
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I'll give you those
Just don't make me go home
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember
It's hard to maintain and it's hard to get by
I don't recall, fight or flight setting in
I had no introduction
I just breathe it in like the air
And there's nothing to remember
There is nothing to remember
I owe you nothing
That's all I've got for you
And you'll borrow nothing
That's what you expect of me
So you send me a love
Out of thin sailor's knots
And I fear underneath the weight of your thoughts
My footsteps now they won't echo too loudly
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I'll give you those
You told me something that scared me to death
Don't take me home
I can't face that yet
I'm ashamed that I'm barely human
And I'm ashamed that I don't have a heart you can break
I'm just action
And other times reaction
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I'll give you those
Just don't make me go home
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember

Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars - Safe & Sound
[ Featuring The Civil Wars ]
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone, gone
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Oh whoa (oh whoa)
Oh whoa (oh whoa)
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Oh whoa
Oh whoa
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Punch Brothers - Dark Days
Mother, listen to my heart.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beat ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are
Sister, hide our love away
From the evil we both know.
[Chorus]
It can see you through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as I go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.
It can turn the whole world upside down,
Shake it 'til the sky falls to the ground.
We don't have to reap the fear they sow,
Friends, as long as we hide our love away,
In the good they'll never know.
[Chorus]
It can see us through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as we go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beats ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beat ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are
Sister, hide our love away
From the evil we both know.
[Chorus]
It can see you through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as I go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.
It can turn the whole world upside down,
Shake it 'til the sky falls to the ground.
We don't have to reap the fear they sow,
Friends, as long as we hide our love away,
In the good they'll never know.
[Chorus]
It can see us through these dark days,
Though they seem to darken as we go.
Our love will see us through these dark, dark days sister,
'Til it lights the way back home.
Sister, hide our love away.
Mother, listen to my heart,
Just as one beats ends, another starts.
You can hear no matter where you are.

The Decemberists - One Engine
One engine barely makes it away
One engine barely makes it away
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds
One engine barely makes it away
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
I'd like to get you in some kind of way
Some kind of trouble in some kind of way
Bear down, they'll run you aground
Bear down, they'll run you aground
We all must suffer awhile in a way
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
Make you feel
Barely make you feel
Make you feel
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
Make you feel
Barely make you feel
Make you feel
One engine
One engine
One engine barely makes it away
One engine barely makes it away
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds
Hold on, they're breaking their bonds
One engine barely makes it away
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
I'd like to get you in some kind of way
Some kind of trouble in some kind of way
Bear down, they'll run you aground
Bear down, they'll run you aground
We all must suffer awhile in a way
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
Make you feel
Barely make you feel
Make you feel
And the martyr line
It's a bitter pill
And the line of right
It will barely make you feel
Make you feel
Barely make you feel
Make you feel
One engine
One engine
One engine barely makes it away

Carolina Chocolate Drops - Daughters Lament
Come in come in my father dear
and spend this hour with me
For I have a meal and a very fine meal
I fixed it up for thee thee
I fixed it up for thee
No I ain't coming in, no
I ain't coming in
To spend this hour with thee
For I have to go down in the mines
I'll return this night to thee thee
I'll return this night to thee
It's she got up her arrow and her bow
Her arrow and her string
And its she went down to the forest deep
And sweetly she did sing sing
And sweetly she did sing
But spoke up, spoke a mockingjay.
Up from a willow tree
Saying you had a father in the mines
Who's gone this day from thee thee
Who's gone this day from thee
Whoa be whoa be oh mockingjay
Whoa be whoa be to thee
I'll send an arrow through your heart
For to bring such news to me me
For to bring such news to me
But spoke up, spoke that mockingjay
Don't waste your time with me
Go home and mind that pretty little girl
Her father no more to see see
Her father no more to see
It's she went home to her house that night
That house so cold and mean
And she held her sister close to her side
And never more did sing sing
And never more did sing
and spend this hour with me
For I have a meal and a very fine meal
I fixed it up for thee thee
I fixed it up for thee
No I ain't coming in, no
I ain't coming in
To spend this hour with thee
For I have to go down in the mines
I'll return this night to thee thee
I'll return this night to thee
It's she got up her arrow and her bow
Her arrow and her string
And its she went down to the forest deep
And sweetly she did sing sing
And sweetly she did sing
But spoke up, spoke a mockingjay.
Up from a willow tree
Saying you had a father in the mines
Who's gone this day from thee thee
Who's gone this day from thee
Whoa be whoa be oh mockingjay
Whoa be whoa be to thee
I'll send an arrow through your heart
For to bring such news to me me
For to bring such news to me
But spoke up, spoke that mockingjay
Don't waste your time with me
Go home and mind that pretty little girl
Her father no more to see see
Her father no more to see
It's she went home to her house that night
That house so cold and mean
And she held her sister close to her side
And never more did sing sing

The Civil Wars - Kingdom Come
Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide
Somewhere no one else can find
Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
Run fast as you can
No one has to understand
Fly high across the sky from here to kingdom come
Fall back down to where you're from
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, for you
Don't you fret, my dear
(Don't you fret, my dear)
It'll all be over soon
(It'll all be over soon)
I'll be waiting here
Don't you fret, my dear
It'll be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you
For you, For you
Run, Run, Run Away
Run, Run, Run Away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide

Tall trees bend and lean pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Don't you fret, my dear

Glen Hansard - Take The Heartland
I'm gonna hide my heart behind the peacock's fan,
And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it's gonna go.
I'm gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches,
Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know
what I've come here for.
Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- you'll die in the end
Take the Heartland
I'm gonna grow my hair down to my face like a Fidel Castro;
like a Che Guevara or a Fidel Castro
And I'm gonna grant my folk my life's one last wish
and I'm gonna take their life with a knife
and I'm gonna sit and wait, not fall
Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- we'll die in the end
Take the Heartland
Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?
Or should I kill you with this word?
You say sit, you say stand,
you say stop, you say go,
You say sit, you say stop,
You say what, you say no,
You say go, you say sit,
You say stand, you say stop,
You say go, you say sit,
And you sit and you watch us all.
Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?
Or should I kill you with this word?
Take the Heartland
Take the Heartland - your sense of revenge
Take the Heartland - you make it look easy
Take the Heartland
I set myself by the west, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the wish, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the voice that I heard.
And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it's gonna go.
I'm gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches,
Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know

Maroon 5 - Come Away To The Water
[ Featuring Rozzi Crane ]
Come away little lass
Come away to the water
To the ones that are waiting only for you
Come away little lass
Come away to the water
Away from the life that you always knew
We are calling to you
Come away little light
Come away to the darkness
In the shade of the night we'll come looking for you
Come away little light
Come away to the darkness
To the ones appointed to see it through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you
Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
Give yourself so we might live anew
Come away little lamb
Come away to the slaughter
To the ones appointed to see this through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you
Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
To the arms that are waiting only for you
Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter
To the one appointed to see this through
We are calling for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you
We are coming for you

Miranda Lambert - Run Daddy Run
[ Featuring Pistol Annies ]
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.
All the songs you used to sing to me
Would rock birds to sleep
I need you now so please somehow
Put rockets on your feet
Oh oh oh oh
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.
Saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away.
Oh how I've dreaded this God forsaken day.
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.
Mama's been crying in the kitchen
Sister's been afraid of the dark.
I've been gathering the pieces of all these shattered hearts.
And I don't care where you go to
And I don't care where you land
But just get out of there daddy as fast as you can
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run.
Run Daddy run, run daddy run.
Run Daddy run, run daddy run.

Jayme Dee - Rules
You say you know love, but you are just reflecting words you hear
No iron in your veins to give you any sense of pain or fear
It's just another lie, it's just another calculation
And when the power's out, we're just another old sensation
This blood keeps me alive, but what is it that runs through you
Electricity and wires, dictating everything you do
You tell me that you hear me and all your memories are real
But how do I know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two
We run around the rules
There's water in your eyes and I know I'm the reason that it's there
But still I don't feel bad because I know that you have more to spare
And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on
To clear away today 'til all your memories are gone
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two
We run around the rules
No iron in your veins to give you any sense of pain or fear
It's just another lie, it's just another calculation
And when the power's out, we're just another old sensation
This blood keeps me alive, but what is it that runs through you
Electricity and wires, dictating everything you do
You tell me that you hear me and all your memories are real
But how do I know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two

There's water in your eyes and I know I'm the reason that it's there
But still I don't feel bad because I know that you have more to spare
And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on

We run around the rules
We run around the rules

Taylor Swift - Eyes Open
Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes
Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open (keep your eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Everybody's watching
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just children
Playing soldiers just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around (turn around), oh they've surrounded you
It's a showdown (showdown) and nobody comes to save you now
But you've got something they don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes
Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night goes dark
Keep your eyes open (keep your eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
(Keep your ey-eyes open)
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open
Keep your ey-eyes open

The Low Anthem - Lover Is Childlike
Meet me down by the whale watch
Meet me down by the sea
Meet me down in Coney Island
We'll go out on the sea
So don't ask me no questions
'Cause I don't cry no wolf
By the ruins of the Ferris wheel
See your doubt in the surf
You might think she's Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
See the fish swimming upstream
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell
My lover ain't Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
She don't care for country
In her tatters and rags
But the band plays the anthem
She whispers, God hates flags
Meet me down by the sea
Meet me down in Coney Island
We'll go out on the sea
So don't ask me no questions
'Cause I don't cry no wolf
By the ruins of the Ferris wheel
See your doubt in the surf
You might think she's Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
See the fish swimming upstream
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell
My lover ain't Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
She don't care for country
In her tatters and rags
But the band plays the anthem
She whispers, God hates flags

Birdy - Just A Game
I don't know where I am
I don't know this place
Don't recognize anybody
Just the same old empty face
See these people they lie
And I don't know who to believe anymore
But there comes you to keep me safe from harm
There comes you to take me in your arms
Is it just a game?
I don't know
Is it just a game?
I don't know
Pleading eyes that break my heart
So homesick I can't feel
But I know I must play my part
And tears I must conceal
There comes you to keep me safe from harm
There comes you to take me in your arms
Is it just a game?
I don't know
To keep you safe from my bow
Take my hand and my heart races
Flames illuminate our faces
And we're on fire
Blow a kiss to the crowd
They're our only hope now
And now I know my place
And now I know my place
We're all just pieces in their games
I don't know this place
Don't recognize anybody
Just the same old empty face
See these people they lie
And I don't know who to believe anymore
But there comes you to keep me safe from harm
There comes you to take me in your arms
Is it just a game?
I don't know
Is it just a game?
I don't know
Pleading eyes that break my heart
So homesick I can't feel
But I know I must play my part
And tears I must conceal
There comes you to keep me safe from harm
There comes you to take me in your arms
Is it just a game?
I don't know
To keep you safe from my bow
Take my hand and my heart races
Flames illuminate our faces
And we're on fire
Blow a kiss to the crowd
They're our only hope now
And now I know my place
And now I know my place
We're all just pieces in their games
