Lacrimosa: A Dean/Cas Fanmix
Cumulus - Imogen Heap
Instrumental
In which Castiel descends from Heaven to grip Dean Winchester tight and raise him from Perdition
Dear God - Sarah McLachlan
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too?!
Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dean questions Castiel's faith, his holy mission, and God's absenteeism.
Show Me - John Legend
Guess it's funny how I say thanks to you
For all you've given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me
I can't stop questioning
O God of love, peace, and mercy
Why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you're listening
Castiel tells Dean he is not a hammer, that he has doubts. Dean tries to express his gratitude.
We're Forgiven - The Calling
When so much just ain't right
It can't go on forever...
If we hold, our breath
If we kneel down and repent
You can't tell me we're forgiven, no,
You can't tell me we're forgiven
Dean can't believe he is meant to save the world, that he is good enough. He tells Castiel as much, lying in a hospital bed, but the angel only holds his hand and says “you are and you can”.
Angels or Devils - Dishwalla
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us
Castiel is hunted for rebelling, Sam is wanted by all of Hell, and Dean runs from Heaven's will. It doesn't matter, though, because they're strong when they're together.
I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab for Cutie
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Dean says fuck you to the Archangel Michael and Castiel knows he'd die a thousand times over for the righteous man.
Lacrimosa - Regina Spektor
Hi I'm Icarus
I'm falling
From the dust of earth
Returning back for judgement
We must prepare
Spare oh god and mercy
Spare me
Castiel is nearly Fallen and still, he turns to the Father who won't answer him. He ignores the all-too human tears that threaten to surface as he recites prayers in ancient languages, prayers selfishly meant for him, for Dean. Lacrimosa dies illa...
No Ordinary Thing - OpShop
I’m naked, I’m naked in this afterlife
I was falling, I was falling from the greatest highs
If everything, if everything should come to pass
Tell me, when are you coming home to stay?
Castiel Fell, but Heaven help him, he'd do it all over again if it meant saving Dean.
Life Less Ordinary - Carbon Leaf
The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away...
I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'hello'
(So much for going slow...)
Dean's never been one much for words, but something changed that night Castiel burst into his life; something changed in him. Castiel once told him good things do happen, and looking at his angel now, Dean can almost believe.
REV 22:20 - Puscifer
(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
Satyrs and saints, devils and heathens and lies
The first time they tumble into bed together, Dean wonders why he waited so long. Castiel is long limbs and all grace and the only prayer he utters is Dean's own name. Dean has never wanted so much, certainly not something he could have.
New Year's Prayer - Jeff Buckley
Leave your office
Run past your funeral
Leave your home, car
Leave your pulpit
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don’t belong, don’t belong
You and the stars
Throwing light
A final lull, a final prayer before the battle for Heaven and Earth.
Dance With the Devil - Breaking Benjamin
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Don't you dare look at him in the eye,
as we dance with the devil tonight.
The fate of the world hangs in balance and the outcome will be written down for all to read of in The Winchester Gospels. But tonight, it's only the righteous man versus Lucifer and the armies of Hell. For once, though, Dean has no doubts because he's got his brother on one side and his angel on the other and they've thrown the book at destiny; it's time for some good old-fashioned Winchester-style kicking ass and taking names.
