Angel On The Frontline

Boot prints in the ash
Your flag stitched on my back
I kiss the kids goodbye
Then bless the smoking sky (oh)

Saving you from monsters
I drew them in my head
Call it duty
Call it honor
It's just how I get fed

I'm an angel on the frontline
Halo cut from razor wire
Hold the broken while the bombs fly
Feed my hunger
Call me sire
I am mercy
I am empire
Hand that heals
Hand that takes
I will die to save the helpless
On the throne their blood remakes

I preach about your freedom
From a tower made of steel
Count the medals
Count the bodies
Both of them feel real

I swear I love the voiceless
Lift them on my name
But every whispered thank you
Fans my private flame (yeah)

I'm an angel on the frontline
Halo cut from razor wire
Hold the broken while the bombs fly
Feed my hunger
Call me sire
I am mercy
I am empire
Hand that heals
Hand that takes
I will die to save the helpless
On the throne their blood remakes

Tell me
Am I savior
Am I snake?
When I bleed for your sake
Is it pride or heartbreak? (Heartbreak)
Every vow I ever swore
Carved on armor
Carved on war
Do I love the weak and poor
Or the power even more?

I'm an angel on the frontline
Halo cut from razor wire
Hold the broken while the bombs fly
Feed my hunger
Call me sire
I am mercy
I am empire
Hand that heals
Hand that takes
I will die to save the helpless
On the throne their blood remakes

I fight for you
I fight for me
Chains and wings
Same body
If I fall here
Let them write
Saint and tyrant
In one light
