The Archers Bows Have Broken Songtext / Lyric

Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?

Do you believe in anything?

Do you carry it around just to burn things down?



Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling

Cause we believe in everything

If we sweat all these debts

Then we're sure to drown

So we'll strap ourselves up to this engine now

With our God who we found laying under the back seat.



What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud you barely joyous broken thing

You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell

You were bringing on the end, you do so well

You can only blame yourself, it's what I say






Oh, order your daughters to ignore me

Think that will sort me?

And sweep me under the rug?

While you're beating with a book

Everyone that book tells you to love.



There is an ember in the heart of this kiln

And it's burning hot with love.

Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust

Then rolling me with care into your cigarette

Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail.



What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud you barely joyous broken thing

You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell

You were bringing on the end, you do so well

You can only blame yourself, it's what I say



Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?

Do you believe in anything?

Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?



What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud you barely joyous broken thing

You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell

You were bringing on the end, you do so well

You can only blame yourself, it's what I say



Feels like

We could escape this.

I might

Throw it away

For fear of the silver sun.

If you try

Running a maze

Of your lies

It's too hard to save.

You've thrown out every one.
