Lyrics

Kids kissing on the floor, they make a work of art Upon the gallery wall, they take the world apart And no one's safe, the tension on the string We're almost there, it's time to reign over the king The archer fires away (send an arrow up) We hope to rise again (like an invitation) Aim high, then the arrow comes down Take out the pale imitation The whole façade is wearing thin We'll just paper over cracks 'Til people take the power back Moving out the cavalcade We live to fight another day See the arrows fly They tempt you with a prize, make you master of the house You look so indifferent now with the sucker hanging from your mouth But you can't be safe, you can't betray your will We're almost gone, it's time to take over the hill The archer fires away (send an arrow up) We hope to rise again (like an invitation) Aim high when the colors come down Take out the pale imitation The whole façade is wearing thin We just paper over cracks 'Til people take the power back Moving out the cavalcade We live to fight another day See the archer's arrows fade, hey, hey See the archer's arrows fade (hey, hey) See the archer's arrows fade (hey, hey) See the archer's arrows fade See the archer's arrows fade (hey, hey)
