Armor and Sword |
| The snakes and arrows a child is heir to |
| Are enough to leave a thousand cuts |
| We build our defenses, a place of safety |
| And leave the darker places unexplored |
| Sometimes the fortress is too strong |
| Or the love is too weak |
| What should have been our armor |
| Becomes a sharp and angry sword |
| Our better natures seek elevation |
| A refuge for the coming night |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| No one |
| We hold beliefs as a consolation |
| A way to take us out of ourselves |
| Meditation or medication |
| A comfort or a promised reward |
| Sometimes the spirit is too strong |
| Or the flesh is too weak |
| Sometimes the need is just too great |
| For the solace we seek |
| The suit of shining armor |
| Becomes a keen and bloody sword |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| A refuge for the coming night |
| A future of eternal light |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| No one |
| Confused alarms of struggle and flight |
| Blood is drained of color |
| By the flashes of artillery light |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| The battle flags are flown |
| At the feet of a god unknown |
| No one gets to their heaven, heaven |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| Sometimes the damage is too great |
| Or the will is too weak |
| What should have been our armor |
| Becomes a sharp and burning sword |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| A refuge for the coming night |
| A future of eternal light |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
| No one |
| No one gets to their heaven without a fight |
