Rewrite of “Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowning)” by the Decemberists
From the perspective of Ellen and Jo Harvelle in ”Abandon All Hope” from Supernatural
Rewritten and sung by a-bagel
Lyrics:
Jo
Mother, put all the bombs around the store before they enter
A million wires, a million fires, a million holes within our armor
And looking up into your eyes, your brave face too streaked with crying
A whispered word upon the bloodied floor where you and I were lying
Tell me now, tell me this, a fighting wife, a hunter’s daughter
One last kiss from love I missed, my feet will wander no longer
Ellen and Jo
So let’s sacrifice here today, our running boys to bear our memory
And we will burn like souls in Hell, knowing only that we saved them
But I taught you and I brought you here
(Didn’t I? Didn’t I? Didn’t I?)
And I fought you and I loved you, dear
(Didn’t I? Didn’t I? Didn’t?)
These hazards of hunts
Never more need we confront
Jo
O Mother the growling dogs are pushing fearfully at the windows
Another breath, another grip, this force from Hell will meet our own blows
With this long last moment here, I’ll speak no more but you will whisper
Ellen
And when the dogs came rushing in, I closed my eyes and softly kissed her
Ellen and Jo
But I taught you and I brought you here
(Didn’t I? Didn’t I? Didn’t I?)
And I fought you and I loved you, dear
(Didn’t I? Didn’t I? Didn’t?)
These hazards of hunts
Never more need we confront
These hazards of hunts
Never more need we confront
Ellen (spoken)
I’m so proud of you
