We Are The Archers

We watched them fall

Eyes locked to mine, feeling as if I had let them down

Caught blinded by silk, led by lips to the baited chains

Now look around, regret

As the ax swings before your eyes

Think how every day we spent dreaming

Never once did you pick up the sword and learn to fight

Now is the time

Pick yourself up and fight

Learn to swing

Learn to swing

They watched me fall for the last time

But how is such an elegant blade to be stopped

When in times where eyes set sight to cross-hair the weak

My bride, I'll try oh so hard to find that light

'Cause in His mind, she baits me to fire

What a cunning foe we've met

Our horizons pushed pages away to a new fight

A new method, a new plan, but how do I train?

How do you ready a child for war?

Oh, what a cunning foe we've met

The captain, but what will He send? What will He send?

I know He will send, but what will be sent?

I can feel a slip

A buzzard scrapes nearby, as I, atop this hill, stand and scream

It's all I can do to control my gaze from the curiosity

Curiosity of seeing myself as prey

And then I heard an armored march

I heard an armored march that shook the trees

That shook the trees, oh

Bows bent as they sang

"We are the archers

We are the archers"
