Gloria - The Dear Hunter

Open-eyed oversight led me to here

Looking for an avenue to simply appear

One too many steps into the wrong direction

Leading me to throw up my hands

Soon I’ll know exactly where I stand

Found in a flood of incendiary plans

Oh, I’ve been falling fast into the rhythms without rhymes

I won’t be giving up again;

yeah, I’ll be getting up again

I heard a voice it said «…e dolore, magna gloria

Bring me your heart and then

You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria

But don’t tell anyone…»

I was in love with inner ambiguity

Then I learned to turn emotions into weaponry

One too many words said with the wrong inflection

Leading me to throw up my hands

Am I giving up the ghost again?

Surrendering so that my evils will amend

Oh, I’ve been falling fast into the space between the lines

I’ll be getting up again;

I won’t be giving up again

I heard a voice it said «…e dolore, magna gloria

Bring me your heart and then

You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria

But don’t tell anyone what you saw here…»

Now I never heard that sound before

I am nothing but an infant wave stuck in a savage ocean

Soon I’ll know exactly where I stand

Found in a flood of incendiary plans

Oh, I’ve been falling fast into the space between the lines

I’ll be getting up again;

I won’t be giving up again

I heard a voice it said «…e dolore, magna gloria

Bring me your heart and then

You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria

Don’t fear the words that I say»

I heard a voice it said «…e dolore, magna gloria

Bring me your heart and then

You will awake in a state of surprising euphoria

But don’t tell anyone what you saw here…»
