Hey Gloria
are you standing
close to the edge
Look out
to the setting sun
the brink of your vision
Eternal youth
is a landscape of a lie
The cracks of my skin
can prove
as the years will testify
Say your prayers
and light a fire
we're gonna 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
this undying love
Gloria viva la Gloria
You blast your name
in graffiti on the walls
Falling in 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 ruins
Ashes to ashes
of our youth
She smashed her
knuckles into winter
As autumn's wind
fades into black
She is the saint
of 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 naiveté
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
your life
