Hey Gloria Are you standing close to the edge? Lookout to the setting sun The brink of your vision Eternal youth is A landscape of the lie
The cracks of my skin can prove As the years will testify Say your prayers and light a fire We're going to start a war Your slogan's a gun for hire It's what we waited for
Hey Gloria,
This is why we're on the edge The fight of our lives been drawn to This undying love.
Gloria, Viva La Gloria You blast your name In graffiti on the walls Falling through broken glass that's Slashing through your spirit I can hear it like a jilted crowd
Gloria, where are you Gloria You found a home In all your scars and ammunition You made your bed in salad days Amongst the ruin Ashes to ashes of our youth
She smashed her knuckles into winter As autumns wind fades into black She is the saint on all the sinners The one that's fallen through the cracks So don't put away your burning light
Gloria, where are you Gloria Don't lose your faith To your lost naivete Weather the storm and don't look Back on last November When your banners were burning down
Gloria, viva la Gloria Send me your amnesty down To the broken hearted Bring us the season That we always will remember Don't let the bonfires go out
So Gloria, Send out your message of the light That shadows in the night. Gloria, where's your undying love? Tell me the story of your life
