Corgan, Billy - Archer Lyrics






I'll go under if you go too
Ripped from the sun, yet born anew
You make it so, you make it known
I'll pace these steps with you
Waiting on a teardrop to explode
Be thorn, be hope, be monstrous
Right there where you are
Take flight, take fear, say "all good night, now!"
Right from sleepy hour
Faith has its fire and with it, form
I speak of love, impressed with the fluff
What lies beyond mere days
But far beyond, God waits

The angel strikes beast as any man
On pillored fire come out of ash
I scribed your tome, I aim what strove
To rail against proof
Twistin' round our teardrop as it explodes
Take flight, take fear
Rake slumber right from sleepy eye
Be thorn, be hope, be monsters all
As if there's no desire
I weep for love and it's surreal
Goodbye, dear one, I haven't given up
I'm just the archer for the sun
Where forever is undone

  1. C.... M....

    Soundtrack of so many lifes. Thanks Billy

  2. D.... G....

    🙏🙏

  3. A.... D....

    from a long long times SP fan still struggle to understand how can billy shift so quickly from pure gems like this to the rubbish of the latest SP work, which I still refuse to name coz just thinking of its pointless and soulless tunes makes my hearth ache...

    A.... D....

    Silvery sometimes and with sympathy are great tracks!

  4. d.... ....

    Gotta be the best song he’s written this century. Honestly think this album was better than the new SP.

  5. R.... J....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs he's ever written

  6. M.... M....

    This song gives me a reason to love.

  7. V.... O....

    What an awesome song ! Thank you Mr Corgan :)

  8. D.... ....

    Billy is back! This is fantastic... sounded great on James Cordon as well! I love the strings and wet reverb on mandolin? This feels like it fit right between Mellon collie and Adore.

  9. V.... O....

    Masterpiece !

  10. E.... G....

    Truly a beautiful song, now I'm addicted to it XD

  11. H.... h....

    Cried the first time I heard it. Beyond beautiful.

  12. S.... R....

    My favourite on Ogilala. A very mediokre album

  13. N.... R....

    One of BC's all-time greatest songs. Just gorgeous. Sad this one doesn't get more attention.

  14. M.... ....

    The album is great but the cover just doesnt fit.... couldn't even find it at first in the store .... inuits? Really? ???

    M.... ....

    I think this album is a product of a 2-3 month tour of rural America - hence the tribute to indigenous people on the cover. Hope this helps your perspective :)

  15. G.... H....

    simply a Genious in music.. in all the possibles ways, i hope his music and his legacy was reconigzed now more than in any time, tremmendous artist ! Long live the king! i was the pleassure to see SP in Chile in 2010, with 20 years old, and i hope i could see them again, greetings from South America, Chile! (excuse my english)

  16. k.... ....

    Going out on a limb to say that this song is the most honest and beautiful song Billy has ever written, its just perfect, so many casualties from the brilliant bands that emerged during Billy's time, we should all be very grateful this man is still in our presence and making beautiful music like this.

  17. K.... J....

    I love each and every song on this solo album from WPC! can't wait for the double album promised... and the reunion tour next year. Dedicated fan! always and forever!

    K.... J....

    Kelso Jones its a double ep ... not lp ... so probably 2 singles with extra tracks

  18. F.... Z....

    The best track of entire album.
    A total masterpiece.

    Compliments mr. Corgan!

  19. D.... ....

    When is billy touring?!? I have to hear this album live. I have to hear this song specifically! It’s just as good as thirty three and that’s a beautiful thing.

  20. T.... M....

    Incredibly beautiful, it has that indescribable magic which makes it quintessential Corgan.

  21. g.... a....

    Great but the vocals are too loud in the mix for me.

    g.... a....

    a little lower and a little reverb would do wonders

  22. B.... L....

    My son was born 2 days ago. I just played this song for him. I think it's a great introduction for him into music. :)

  23. M.... D....

    A beautifully quiet from the leader of the best band in the world
    1991-2000 SP
    He could make albums like this forever and I would be happy

  24. F.... F....

    My fav in this album

  25. G.... G....

    I like the nylon strings eco effect coming in. I like the guitar rifs. The melody was nice too.

  26. J.... M....
