Glory
[Verse 1]
Glory to the dying embers
Glory to the TV screens
Glory to the once remembered
Rags and flags and gasoline

Glory to the jukebox heroes
Glory to the botox queens
Glory to the ones and zeroes
Coding kings and libertines

[Verse 2]
Glory to the plastic ocean
Glory to the modern slave
Glory to the pocket Hitler
Glory to the unmade grave

Glory to the crimes of passion
Glory to the left and right
Glory as the crumbs of fashion
Feed the modern appetite

[Chorus]
Amen amen
Bow your head and pray
Welcome to brand new history
[Verse 3]
Glory to the wheels of power
Glory to the face of war
Glory to the single flower
Held at revolution's door

Glory to the fallen soldiers
Glory to what made them fall
Glory while the hearts of leaders
See no difference at all

[Chorus]
Amen amen
Bow your head and pray
Welcome to brand new history

[Verse 4]
Glory to the hate and hated
Glory to the loved and lost
Glory to what greed created
A photofit, a Calvary cross

Glory glory hallelujah
Glory to the threads of fame
Even as the past outgrew you
You drank its blood and praised its name
[Outro]
You praised its name
You praised its name
You praised its name
You praised its name
