took half your face and both your eyes

it left you nothing but paralyzed

and mushroom clouds it left behind

our city's crumbling but i don't mind

the ether tastes like nausea,

a permanent distraction

from the waking world outside



rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria



like scared teens on ecstasy

an epileptic dance party

so shut your mouth

and don't you scream

just hold my hand girl and dance with me

to the sound of severed hands clapping

and our untimely funeral

bombs wrap children round sweet scents



rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria



in the soundful rain

in the flames in the fallout

i hear the echoes of an empire calling out your name

what goes to show me what your to serenade

and through the smoke i heare them singing

i hear them singing gloria



rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria

rain down, gloria
