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.
