"¡Viva la Gloria!"

Hey Gloria, are you standing close to the edge?

Look out at the setting sun

Brink of your vision

Eternal youth

Is the 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 going to 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 in broken glass and

Slashing through these spirits

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 autumns 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 are Gloria

Don't lose your faith

To you lost naivety

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!
