Lorde - Glory and Gore lyrics

rate me

There's a humming in the restless summer air

And we're slipping off the course that we prepared

But in all chaos there is calculation

Dro-dro-dropping glasses just to hear them break

You've been drinking

Like the world was gonna end it's ending

Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend

It's clear that someone's gotta go home

We mean it but I promise we're not mean

And the crowd goes loud

They lose their minds for us

And how it plays out

Now we're in the ring

And we're coming for blood

You can try and take us out

But we're the gladiators uh uh

Everyone a ranger oh oh

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines oh oh

You can try and take us oh oh

But victory's contagious

Tell a kid in every way but one the, swordplay

God knows we like archaic kinds of fun, the old way

Chance is the only game I play with, baby

We let our battles choose us

And the crowd goes loud

They lose their minds for us

And how it plays out

Now we're in the ring

And we're coming for blood

You can try and take us out

But we're the gladiators uh uh

Everyone a ranger oh oh

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines oh oh

You can try and take us oh oh

But victory's contagious

No one around here is good

At keeping their eyes closed

The sun's starting to light up

When we're walking home oooh

Tired little laughs, gold light promises

We’ll always win at this

I don't ever think about death

It's alright if you do it's fine uuuuh

We gladiate but I guess

We’re really fighting ourselves

Roughing up our minds so we're ready

When the kill time comes

Wide awake in bed words in my brain

Secretly you love this

Do you even wanna go free?

Let me in the ring

I'll show you what that big word means

You can try and take us out

But we're the gladiators uh uh

Everyone a ranger oh oh

But secretly they're saviors

Glory and gore go hand in hand

That's why we're making headlines oh oh

You can try and take us oh oh

But victory's contagious
