Glory And Gore |
| There’s a humming in the restless summer air |
| And we’re slipping off the course that we prepared |
| But in all chaos, there is calculation |
| (Drop-drop-drop-drop) Dropping glasses just to hear them break |
| You’ve been drinking like the world was gonna end (It didn’t) |
| Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (Go figure) |
| It’s clear that someone’s gotta go |
| We mean it, but I promise we’re not mean |
| And the cry goes out (Oh) |
| They lose their minds for us |
| And how it plays out (Oh) |
| Now we’re in the ring and we’re coming for blood |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But we’re the gladiators |
| (Oh, oh) Everyone a rager |
| (Oh, oh) But secretly they’re saviours |
| Glory and gore go hand in hand |
| That’s why we’re making headlines |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But victory’s contagious |
| Delicate in every way but one (The swordplay) |
| God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (The old ways) |
| Chance is the only game I play with, baby |
| We let our battles choose us |
| And the cry goes out (Oh) |
| They lose their minds for us |
| And how it plays out (Oh) |
| Now we’re in the ring and we’re coming for blood |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But we’re the gladiators |
| (Oh, oh) Everyone a rager |
| (Oh, oh) But secretly they’re saviours |
| Glory and gore go hand in hand |
| That’s why we’re making headlines |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But victory’s contagious |
| No-one 'round here’s good at keeping their eyes closed |
| The sun’s starting to light up when we’re walking home |
| Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises |
| We’ll always win at this, I don’t ever think about death |
| It’s all right if you do, it’s fine |
| We gladiate, but I guess we’re really fighting ourselves |
| Roughin' up our minds so we’re ready when the killtime comes |
| Wide awake in bed, words in my brain |
| «Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?» |
| Let me in the ring, I’ll show you what that big word means |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But we’re the gladiators |
| (Oh, oh) Everyone a rager |
| (Oh, oh) But secretly they’re saviours |
| Glory and gore go hand in hand |
| That’s why we’re making headlines |
| (Oh, oh) You could try and take us |
| (Oh, oh) But victory’s contagious |
