The Archers’ Bows Have Broken

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 strap ourselves up to this engine now With a God who we found laying under the backseat [Chorus] 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 are freezing over hell You are bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what I say [Verse 2] (Oh!) Order your daughters to ignore me, think that will sort me And sweep me under the rug, ah You're beating with a book everyone That book tells you to love Ah, there is an ember in the heart of the kiln And it's burning hot with love Burning out my center 'til there's nothing but dust Rollin' me with care into your cigarette 'Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail [Chorus] 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 are freezing over hell You are bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what I say [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Who do you carry that torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground? [Chorus] 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 are freezing over hell You are bringing on the end, you do so well You can only blame yourself, is what I say [Outro] Feels like we could escape it (What did you learn tonight?) I might throw it away (You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing) For a filthy silver song (You're a voice that never sings, is what I say) If you tried running the maze (You are freezing over hell) Of your lives, it's you are to say (You are bringing on the end, you do so well) That you've thrown out everyone (You can only blame yourself, is what I say, say, say, say, say, ah!)
