Hail of Arrows

hail of arrows - Raised By Swans

Sleep and forget until the names we knew are

Bodies walled in a doorless room

And we won't turn back

Clouds of sparrows are startled into flight

As a hail of arrows is unleashed at the sky

And we won't turn back

So here we go

This might curse our luck

These mirror-haunted hallways

We're echo-testing for a hole we'll never find

So let's just close our eyes this time

I will love you always

I wouldn't lie

I wouldn't lie

So pour me out on the eastern coast

Where the water's cold as a mermaid's ghost

And the long days hide

And one of these nights we will bloom in the trees

Push our old sick hearts from the roots to the leaves

And then open wide

So here we go

This might curse our luck

These mirror-haunted hallways

We're echo-testing for a hole we'll never find

So let's just close our eyes this time

I will love you always

I wouldn't lie

I wouldn't lie

'Cause it's hard to lay arms down

In the arms of the one who lays you bare

But if we don't shield ourselves

Then we won't have to fear fear the arrows

'Cause it's hard to lay arms down

In the arms of the one who lays you bare

But if we don't shield ourselves

Then we won't have to fear fear the arrows
