I agree that this song is a love song. It is quite a beautiful one at that, but I think the singer is trying to convey the message that the said character is telling his lover that he would do anything for them. If loves a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on the trigger.-basically saying that said person would die for the other because of how much they love them. They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for/well baby, you are all that I adore. If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.-saying that said person know exactly what he's fighting for. He's fighting for the other's love. I'm an angel with a shot gun-they have a good reputation, but they're willing to let that go for the person they love. I don't care if heaven won't take me back./Throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.-this is a deep statement considering that they are basically saying that they'd give up God and all that they stand for to earn this person's love.

Overall, this is a beautiful song with deep statements and obviously the writer was feeling strong emotions while constructing this piece.
