[Verse 1]
[M]
They call him Dark Arrows
Under a frozen sky
Black wings over steel-blue mail
He never tells me why
He walks the drifted tree line
Where the pine boughs bend and moan
Fighting in the shadows
Like he’s born to stand alone
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
And the storm keeps singing
Over empty yards and wire
His darkened heart is burning
Like a coal beneath the fire
[Chorus]
[M + F]
Black wings, black wings
Christmas night, black wings
Black arrows in the snow
He’s the one I know
Black wings, black wings
Forever more, black wings
Abandoned, but not gone
He keeps walking on
[Verse 2]
[F]
I found him by the hayfield
With frost on his hands
Black teal armor shining
Like a promise that still stands
He said, “Don’t pray for rescue
I was made for this fight”
Then he vanished in the whiteout
Like a scar across the night
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
And I swear I heard him calling
Through the bells and frozen air
A lonely kind of thunder
Like he’d left his heart somewhere
[Chorus]
[M + F]
Black wings, black wings
Christmas night, black wings
Black arrows in the snow
He’s the one I know
Black wings, black wings
Forever more, black wings
Abandoned, but not gone
He keeps walking on
[Bridge]
[F]
If the world won’t hold him
I will hold the flame
If the dark comes asking
I will call his name
[M + F]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Through the storm and pine
Oh-oh, oh-oh
He’ll be mine tonight
[Final Chorus]
[M + F]
Black wings, black wings
Christmas night, black wings
Black arrows in the snow
He’s the one I know
Black wings, black wings
Forever more, black wings
Abandoned, but not gone
He keeps walking on
