ARRØWS IN WØRDS FRØM THE SKY - 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
