¡Viva La Gloria! lyrics

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 were 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 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 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
