The bow and arrow is a projectile weapon system (a bow with arrows) that predates recorded history and is common to most cultures. Archery is the art, practice, or skill of applying it.
A bow is a flexible arc which shoots aerodynamic projectiles (arrows or quarrels, sometimes stones) by means of elastic energy. Essentially, the bow is a form of spring powered by a string or cord. As this string is drawn, energy is stored in the flexible limbs of the bow; the energy is transferred to the arrow when the string is released, projecting it much farther than a weapon could be thrown. Today, bows and arrows are used primarily for hunting and for sport (see archery). Though they are still occasionally used as weapons of war, the development of gunpowder and muskets, and the growing size of armies, led to their replacement in warfare several centuries ago in much of the world.
Someone who makes bows is known as a bowyer, and one who makes arrows is a fletcher—or in the case of the manufacture of metal arrow heads, an arrowsmith.
Tales to be pleasant
among the peasants
I’ll sing of kings and knights
song saying worlds turn
to codes of honor
ruling on day and night
day and night.
Knights
posess the strongest pride
but fragile hearts inside
sometimes keep their spear from striking high
Cries
the kingdom’s fall and rise
fights on the country side
love and blood and armors left behind
There’s no bad or good
just sorrow
And I say
Bow and arrow
bow and arrow find their way
bow and arrow
bow and arrow wound my heart
bow and arrow should never part
war should never start
war should never start
Sing of the lone hearts
sing of the lands far
sing it in words and rhymes
songs of the minstrels
echoe throught castles
calling to future times
Oh time
Night, the chambers shine with light
where Ladies virtues lie
‘til the fire of love will make them die
Minds, who trust in magic lies
just drown in nature’s tide
Eagles born with broken wings don’t fly
Open up your heart
and your eyes
