Arrows in Words from the Sky Break the silence, the clouds lift in the dawn inside my mind. Is the darkness casting a reflection? Staring at a broken mirror wanting, can't ever realize. You say that you believe but do you know the reason why? Centuries of pain under a paper sword, arrows in words from the sky. Breaking dawn, I am reborn, right the wrong, the ark of justice. Holding on by a thread I'll carry on and rise above this. Pain, how you gently strip my confidence away How your sweet caress is black and blue and gray. Archers at the ready, bows drawn, aiming high, arrows in words from the sky. Buried songs, anthems to a frozen sun, her cold will strengthen. Fighting on, this war, no more, lift up your brother. Night is long, my heart so dark keep pushing through this. Pain, how you gently strip my confidence away How your sweet caress is black and blue and gray. Archers at the ready, bows drawn, aiming high, arrows in words from the sky. The sky is darkest just before the dawn so keep the faith and wipe away your tears and wipe the spit off of your face. A spirit's buried inside, you were meant to shine a light. Glow incandescent, let them fear the fire burning bright. Shine bright, burn your fire and burn away the pain. Pain, how you gently strip my confidence away How your sweet caress is black and blue and gray. Archers at the ready, bows drawn, aiming high, Arrows! Pain, how you gently strip my confidence away How your sweet caress is black and blue and gray. Archers at the ready, bows drawn, aiming high, arrows in words from the sky.
