Work Text:
I thought I saw an angel once
Standing in a crowd
His arm was tightly round the victor
His head was humbly bowed
I thought I saw an angel once
In the middle of a strife
He proudly stood before the victor
And offered up his life
I thought I saw an angel once
Beyond the doors of death
He gave his life to save the victor
And drew his final breath
I thought I saw an angel once
In another crowd
Again he stood beside the victor
Again his head was bowed
I thought I saw an angel once
But different from the past
Beside the angel was another
Who’d be there ‘til the last
