[Intro] [low vocal register] Midnight on the front line Sky burning like a sign You feel it in your spine This is the time [Verse 1] Boots on holy ground Ash in the air Hearts pound You were born for this battleground Warrior Hear me now Every father Every son Over eighteen Every one If your mind can’t be undone You’ve already been chosen [Chorus] Angels carry swords for a reason We’re not here to watch We’re here to fight Stand between the dark and the children Guard every breath Every sleepless night If you’re immune to the poison they’re breathing You’re drafted by your conscience and your soul Angels carry swords for a reason We cut a path that’s gonna save the world [Verse 2] I’ve seen demons wear a smile Turn a playground to a trial Turn their screens into denial While they file them into files But I’m the fire in the storm Armor scarred Edges worn You are how the light is born When you swear to keep them warm [Pre-Chorus] This is not a movie scene This is blood This is real This is mean Every man who still can dream Step in front of the machine [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] If you can’t be hypnotized You are mine You’re mobilized Rise up Rise up [full voice] From the suburbs to the sands From the farm fields to the flats Every brother Take a stand Every sister Raise the flag This is angels versus demons On your street In your phone In your head We are here to shield the children We will stand until the dark is dead [crescendo] Spark the party Light the fuse Hope is something we can choose When we all refuse to lose Heaven moves Heaven moves [Chorus] [Outro] [soft Then building] Angels carry swords for a reason Say it ’til the spell is broken Guard the small ones Guard their freedom Every vow tonight is spoken [whispered] You are not alone You were made for this season [full voice] Angels carry swords for a reason
