Arrow Lyrics
as I drive hell bent 'neath the sickle moon
scattering leaves in blood red hues
what tension shot me down this road
hell bent so far that I almost broke
I had once in mind to drag my bow
after hart and hind and stag and roe
if the shaft proved straight and my aim proved true
I would bring it all back home for you
(chorus:)
this arrow was my only weapon
this arrow guarded me quite well
this arrow held no earthly tether
no angel feather on a bat out of hell
and with focus narrowed down to will
and eyes cross-hatched against the kill
there are no sins I will atone
for muscle, sinew, gristle and bone
(repeat chorus)
and I rode and rode as clouds flew past
with six white horses all lathered and fast
my scars and marks have now worn smooth
for I am this arrow and it came for you
scattering leaves in blood red hues
what tension shot me down this road
hell bent so far that I almost broke
after hart and hind and stag and roe
if the shaft proved straight and my aim proved true
I would bring it all back home for you
this arrow was my only weapon
this arrow guarded me quite well
this arrow held no earthly tether
no angel feather on a bat out of hell
and with focus narrowed down to will
and eyes cross-hatched against the kill
there are no sins I will atone
for muscle, sinew, gristle and bone
and I rode and rode as clouds flew past
with six white horses all lathered and fast
my scars and marks have now worn smooth
for I am this arrow and it came for you

I think what jack was trying to rate his children
" as I drive hell bent 'neath the sickle moon scattering leaves in blood red hues" This is clearly a cry for help.
" this arrow was my only weapon this arrow guarded me quite well"
here he is obviously stating that miranda, his youngest, is infact his favorite child.
i think Miranda is confused and is misunderstanding the aggressiveness of the song for being his favorite child, she is in fact, his least favorite...
