Lyrics
Born into the kingdom of the lovely ones Captive to the nation of the holy guns What was I to do? What was I to do? Drag me to some far off mountain top - glory Bind me to the alter. I am offered up! Gloria Gloria Gloria Who am I to isolate the mind of Christ Given all the faces made to paint the wise? We are being used We are being used Bless those histories lost from before - glory Stripped and cursed to kill forevermore Gloria Gloria Gloria I suffocate The dynasties of old will lay me down in catacombs Under and over the strata of bones And iron-clad silhouettes The lovely stars still a canopy over our heads They will circle on. Lighting the emptiest eyes, and watching. Close your eyes and taste the gift - the Holy Breath Melding and colliding with the grace of death We are not afraid We are not afraid Etch your great dominions in the dirt Time itself is trampled by a single word Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria
