We Are The Archers Lyrics - Singles - Oh, Sleeper

We watched them fall, eyes locked to mine 

Feeling as if I had let them down 

Caught blinded by silk, led by lips 

To the baited chains now look around regret 

As the axe swings before your eyes 

Think how everyday we spent dreaming 

Never once did we pick up the sword and learn to fight 

Now is the time pick yourself up and fight 

Learn to swing, learn to swing 

They watched me fall for the last time 

But how is such an elegant blade to be stopped? 

When in times where eyes set sites 

To cross-hair the weak, my bride 

I'll try, oh so hard to find that light 

But in his mind she baits me to fire 

What a cunning foe we've met 

Our horizons pushed pages away to a new fight 

A new method, new plan but how do I train? 

How do you ready a child for war? 

Oh what a cunning foe we've met 

The captain, what will he send? 

I know he will send but what will be sent? 

I can feel a slip a buzzard scrapes nearby 

As I, atop this hill, stand and scream 

It's all I can do to control my gaze 

From the curiosity of seeing myself as prey 

And then I heard an armored march 

I heard an armored march that shook the trees 

Bows bent as they sang, "We are the archers"
