Viva La Gloria Songtext
von Green Day

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 a lie
The cracks of my skin can prove
As the years will testify

Say your prayers, and light a fire
We′re gonna 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!
Your blast your name in graffiti on the walls
Falling in broken glass, and slashing free 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 mashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria!)
As autumn′s wind fades into black
She is the saint on all the sinners (Gloria!)
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
Your life!
