Lyrics

Glory

We want peace
So we wage war
In the streets
Outside our doors
And through the night
The children cry
They see us fight
But can’t see why

There’s no glory in the gunfire
There’s no pride in the blood
There’s no grace in the pain
When the tears are coming up
But there’s hope for the heart
Behind the cold and the scars
You can call me a liar
But there’s no glory in the fire

We don’t belong
Or so we’re told
Our love is wrong
This is not our home
So we take sides
What will we give
We’ll see who’s right
When we see who lives

But there’s no glory in the gunfire
There’s no pride in the blood
There’s no grace in the pain
When the tears are coming up
But there’s hope for the heart
Behind the cold and the scars
You can call me a liar
But there’s no glory in the fire

Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm

When the smoke has cleared
And the graves have all been dug
Will anyone fear?
Will anybody love?

There’s no glory in the gunfire
There’s no pride in the blood
There’s no grace in the pain
When the tears are coming up
But there’s hope for the heart
Behind the cold and the scars
You can call me a liar
But there’s no glory in the fire
You can call me a liar
But there’s no glory in the fire
