Armor and Sword Full Lyrics
[00:45.56] The snakes and arrows a child is heir to
[00:49.87] Are enough to leave a thousand cuts
[00:59.89] We build our defenses, a place of safety
[01:04.38] And leave the darker places unexplored
[01:11.58]
[01:19.62] Sometimes the fortress is too strong
[01:23.92] Or the love is too weak
[01:29.18] What should have been our armor
[01:32.68] Becomes a sharp and angry sword
[01:39.37]
[01:48.00] Our better natures seek elevation
[01:53.10] A refuge for the coming night
[01:57.76] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[02:04.73] No one
[02:10.26] We hold beliefs as a consolation
[02:14.72] A way to take us out of ourselves
[02:21.15] Meditation, or medication
[02:25.35] A comfort, or a promised reward
[02:36.18] Sometimes that spirit is too strong
[02:40.27] Or the flesh is too weak
[02:45.56] Sometimes the need is just too great
[02:49.67] For the solace we seek
[02:54.96] The suit of shining armor
[02:58.42] Becomes a keen and bloody sword
[03:04.61] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[03:13.05] A refuge for the coming night
[03:18.94] A future of eternal light
[03:23.58] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[03:30.45] No one
[03:35.25]
[04:00.79] Confused alarms of struggle and flight
[04:05.82] Blood is drained of color
[04:10.48] By the flashes of artillery light
[04:15.23] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[04:24.38] The battle flags are flown
[04:27.45] At the feet of a god unknown
[04:34.14] No one gets to their heaven, heaven
[04:41.64]
[04:52.98] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[05:01.01]
[05:15.97] Sometimes the damage is too great
[05:20.35] Or the will is too weak
[05:25.56] What should have been our armor
[05:29.26] Becomes a sharp and burning sword
[05:35.15] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[05:43.46] A refuge for the coming night
[05:49.72] A future of eternal light
[05:53.99] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[06:01.03] No one
[06:05.63]
[06:12.75] No one gets to their heaven without a fight
[06:18.61]
