Sam Roberts Band Sang Froid song lyrics

We were shining on the front lines

We were standing on a land mine

But it's been a long time since I was afraid

We were hunters in the daylight

We were prey after midnight

But it's been a long time since I was afraid

We've been shining on the front lines

Burning in the sunshine

We've been dancing in the headlines

Standing on a land mine

There were flowers in the fields

There were guns, human shields

Ain't a daydream, this is real

Ain't a smokescreen, can't conceal

We were flushed with success

We were crushed by excess

We were standing at address

We were hoping for the best

We've been shining on the front lines

Burning in the sunshine

We've been dancing in the headlines

Standing on a land mine

Sang Froid at the right time

Lying there waiting for the fever to break

There's only so much that a body can take (don't you know)

Everyone has a little piece to defend

There's only so much that a body can bend

There were roads that were paved

Only those who were saved are coming home

They're coming home

Reincarnation!

You're coming back as a bug

Hallucinations got you crying tears on an afghan rug

Hope of salvation

Pray for victory

You were only nineteen, you have so much to be

And now you're suffering from PTSD

We were flushed with success

We were crushed by excess

We were standing at address

We were hoping for the best

We've been shining on the front lines

Burning in the sunshine

We've been dancing in the headlines

Standing on a land mine

Sang Froid at the right time

Sang Froid at the right time
