Lyrics
They paint me in white, call me gentle and kind A halo of silence, a hush in my mind But under the feathers, beneath the pale glow There's a heart that has tasted what darkness can show I held back the storm, I swallowed the flame I bled out in silence and never took blame But every soft prayer has a breaking point's edge And I'm standing right on the ledge Angels carry swords for a reason Mercy has a blade when the night is bleeding Even the kindest heart battles a demon inside It's not always about light Rise from the ashes, wings on fire Hear the thunder of a sacred choir Angels carry swords for a reason And tonight, I fight You tested my patience, you pushed past my line You mistook my softness for something divine But I know every shadow that lives in my chest I've buried the monster, I've laid it to rest No more pleading, no more chains I'll wear the scars, I'll wear the pain The limit's been reached, the silence is through Now watch what the light can do Angels carry swords for a reason Mercy has a blade when the night is bleeding Even the kindest heart battles a demon inside It's not always about light Rise from the ashes, wings on fire Hear the thunder of a sacred choir Angels carry swords for a reason And tonight, I fight [instrumental solo] Push me deep Push me deep into the dark Let it swallow every spark I'm not afraid of what I'll find Two souls fighting in my mind I know how to embrace the dark side to come to the light Angels carry swords for a reason Mercy has a blade when the night is bleeding Even the kindest heart battles a demon inside It's not always about light Rise from the ashes, wings on fire Hear the thunder of a sacred choir Angels carry swords for a reason And tonight, I fight
