Arrows in Words From the Sky Songtext
von Machine Head

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
Burn your fire
Bright
Burn away the-

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
