 An angel vigilante  others might proclaim
 But as  I breathe I will not be a pawn,
 A piece in anyone's  game
I  am a fallen angel I  am a sacred he-art

 I am invincible  and I am divine
 Yeah, I could be a beauty  with a little bit of shine
  (BEGIN FILL 2)

 Maybe the patron saint of rage oh, with black market eyes
 Well, I've looked  into the face of fear
 I know  what I'm doing here
 Watch me fly

 I make my own choice
 And I will never,  I will not, I will never  behave
 When  did I begin the soldier's journey
 When  did I begin the fight
 Fighting  to believe what they had told me
 Fighting  to believe the lie
 That I had to serve  somebody
 I never had to serve somebody
I  am a sacred  heart,  I am  a fallen angel
I  am a sacred heart, I  am a savage fire
 Deep inside, deep  inside the icy,  the icy dark
 Ooooo-oohhh,  I am a sacred  heart, a sacred  heart
 A fallen  angel,  and I am,  I am  a sacred  heart........
