Verse 1:
Hey Gloria
Are you standing close to the edge?
Lookout to the setting sun
The brink of your vision
Eternal youth is
A landscpe from the lie
The cracks of my skin can prove
As the years will testify
Refrain 1:
Say your prayers and light a fire
Were going to start a war
Your slogans a gun for hire
A B(hold)
It's what we waited for
Verse 2:
Hey Gloria
This is what were on the edge
The fight of our lives been drawn to
A E(hold)
This undying love
Interlude: Beat Changes from Ballad Piano to Fast Punk Rock
Chorus 1:
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
You blast your name
In graffiti on the walls
Falling thought broken glass that's
Slashing thought your spirit
I can hear it like a jilted crowd
Chorus 2:
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
Verse 3:
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 thought the cracks
Refrain 2:
So don't put away your burning light
Chorus 3:
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 banner where burning down
Chorus 4:
Gloria, Viva La Gloria
Send me you amenesty down
To the broken hearted
Bring us the season
That we always will remember
Don't let the bonfires go out
Outro:
So Gloria,
Send out your message of the light
That Shadow in the night
Gloria, Where's your undying love?
Tell me the story of your life
E E E E E(hold)
your life
