The Archer's Bows Are Broken Lyrics
Artist(Band):Brand New
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling
cause we believe in everything
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
With our God who we found laying under the back seat
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You are freezing over hell
You are bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me think that will sort me?
and sweep me under the rug
While you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And it's burning hot with love
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
rolling me with care into your cigarette
Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You are freezing over hell
You are bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You are freezing over hell
You are bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
[Chorus continues in the background]
Feels like we could escape
and I don't mind throwing away this filthy silver song
If you try running a maze of your lies
It's too hard to save if you've thrown out everyone

Review about The Archer's Bows Are Broken
a thought. | Reviewer: caitlin | 1/9/2008to Jesse, I think that what he means by that line is perfectly conveyed using 'never' in there. Jesse (Lacey)'s saying that God doesn't work on a campaign trail, while his followers do. He's talking to the believers, saying, "I don't know what God you think you're promoting, cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail."
Great Song | Reviewer: Jesse | 12/8/2007
One of the best on The Devil & God. I love the way it accuses someone of not knowing who or what they carry the torch for.
But im positive it says "the God i believe in worked on a campaign trail" without the "never" which would work better as it would be him saying that he feels tricked into religion as they campaigned to get more followers

Great song about a few contradictions in life. He is doubting the faith that some people hold and belives they use it in a manner without good intentions. People are walking blindly through life not seeing what is actually there.
