GLORY AND GORE
THERE'S A HUMMING IN THE RETLESS SUMMER AIR
AND WE'RE SLIPPING OFF THE COURSE THAT WE PREPARED
BUT IN ALL CHAOS, THERE IS CALCULATION
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 FIRST 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
(AH AH)
THEY LOSE THEIR MINDS FOR US
AND HOW IT PLAYS OUT
(AH AH)
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 SAVIORS
GLORY AND GORE GO HAND IN HAND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE MAKING HEADLINES
(OH OH)
YOU COULD TRY AND TAKES 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 WAY)
CHANGEBIS THE ONLY GAME I PLAY WITH, BABY
WE LET OUR BATTLES CHOOSE US
AND THE CRY GOES OUT
(AH AH)
THEY LOSE THEIR MINDS FOR US
AND HOW IT PLAYS OUT
(AH AH)
NOW WE'REBIN 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 SAVIORS
GLORY AND GORE GO HAND IN HAND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE MARKING 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 ALRIGHT IF YOU DO IT'S FINE
WE GLADIATE BUT I GUESS WE'RE REALLY FIGHTING OURSELVES
ROUGHING UP OUR MINDS SO WE'RE READY WHEN THE KILL TIMES COMES
WIDE AWAKE IN BED, WORDS IN MY BRIAN
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 SAVIORS
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.
