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 the lie
The cracks of my skin can prove
As years will testify
Say your prayers and light a fire
We're gonna start a war
Your slogans 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 ruins
Ashes to ashes of our youth

She smashed her knuckles into winter
As autumn's 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 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
