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!
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!

I wrote against another track off this album that I see Christian as "Rise Up!" and Gloria as "Wise Up!". But at this point Christian turns her to the "Rise Up!" way. The layers of irony are great. Christian is now like a televangelist (one of the things that has him so angry) and Gloria is now a mindless sheep. Talk about a toxic relationship (which is why it's destined to fail).

Are you standing close to the edge?
Lookout to the setting sun
The 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 slogan's 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 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 are Gloria?
Don't lose your faith
***To your lost naïveté***
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
Beutiful story and beginning - then hard rock. Stunning.
Love this song.
