Arrows in Words from the Sky Lyrics
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 the 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
Oh 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
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 the 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
Oh your sweet caress is black and blue and
Gray
Archers at the ready, bows drawn aiming high
Arrows
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

The climactic track, which follows Ares and Eros' emotional conflict in "Terminus." At this point, Ares and Eros have committed acts of violence in the name of lost loved ones, and are confronting the consequences of those acts. The mental anguish that clouded them begins to lift and brings a dawn to their darkest night. Both see the damage caused.
The arrows being drawn are messages of moral judgment, truths descending from above from archers; Something external, yet undeniable. The “Archers” are symbolic agents of change, judgment, or truth, and represent one’s own conscience. Both Eros and Ares' conscience are aiming their messages, the irrefutable realities or facts, that will wound them. But even when the truth hurts, they are encouraged to stand back up instead of running, so they can face the reality and push past shame, humiliation, and grief, in order to face the world again. Each of them recognizes that their potential, the spirit inside, the fire, is meant to be more than pain. That fire from losing their loved ones that drove this senseless war still burns in them, and only now do they realize that it should be a symbol for renewal and defiance; It's not for destruction, but illumination. Illuminating a rebirth of character.
