Hey Gloria 
Are you standing close to the edge? 
Lookout to the setting sun 
The brink of your vision 

Eternal youth is 
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 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 [bad word] 
Ashes to ashes of our youth 

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 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
