GLORIA


NOTHINGS REALLY AS IT SEEMS
OUTSIDE’S TRANQUIL, BUT INSIDE SCREAMS

WHO OR WHAT’S BEHIND THAT DOOR
COULD NO ONE HEAR THE SILENT ROAR?

MOM LOOKED SWEET, NO WRONG SHE’D DONE
DESPISED HER DUGHTER, LOVED HER SON

AND HOW NICE WAS THE FATHER?
BEAT HIS SON, KNEW HIS DAUGHTER

CARNAL KNOWLEDGE, RAGE AND HATE
INNOCENT CHILDREND, HELL’S THEIR FATE

DAUGHTER RAN, SHE COULD NOT COPE
IN THIS LIFE, SHE HAD NO HOPE

COMFORT, LOVE, TO HER WHO’D BRING?
A RAY OF SUNSHINE, ANYTHING

“IF I’M NOT LOVED, WHAT’S MY WORTH?
I HAVE NO MEANING ON THIS EARTH”

HER HEART AND SOUL, WENT TO SLEEP
NO ONE KNEW, NO ONE TO WEEP

LIMB’S BROKE OFF THIS FAMILY TREE
ONCE WERE FOUR, NOW THEY’RE THREE

BIBLE FOLKS, ONE DAY DID CALL
“FROM GOD’S GOOD GRACE, DO NOT FALL”


“REPENT WE WILL” FATHER DID SAY”
“WE’LL BE READY ON JUDGEMENT DAY”

CLEANED UP HIS ACT, SO TO SPEAK
STILL TO HIS SON HE WAS NOT MEEK


HOLY DAD WAS FULL OF HOLES
BUT LOVED TO CONDEMN SINNING SOULS


DAD GREW TIRED OF BIBLE TREND
MOTHER WAS FAITHFUL TO THE END


AND IN THE END HEAVEN SCREAMED
FAULTS WERE BARED, THE EARTH WAS CLEANED


PARADISE, MOM ROSE FROM GRAVE
“MUST FIND MY SON” TO ALL SHE RAVED


BUT FROM THE GRAVE WHO WOULD RISE?
THE DAUGHTER DID TO MOM’S SURPRISE


TO HER MOTHER, SHE DID RUN
MOM SAID NO! I WANT MY SON!


DOWN FROM HEAVEN CAME THE TAUNT
“IT’S YOU, THE MOTHER, I DON’T WANT”


RUMBLE AND QUAKE, EARTH DID CHURN
TO DIRT AND WORMS, MOM RETURNED


DAUGHTER TURNED AROUND TO GO
MIDST THE STRANGERS SHE DID NOT KNOW

THEN A VOICE TO HER DID SAY
“RANSOM OF KINGS, OUR WORTH, HE’D PAY”


“WORTHY FOUND, WE, LIKE GOLD
WE HAVE BEEN DRAWN INO THE FOLD”


TEARS FROM HER BEGAN TO STREAM
FOR HIM TO SEE SHE NEVER DREAMED

ARMS STRETCHED OUT, ONE TO THE OTHER
LOVED AT LAST, SISTER AND BROTHER
