Glory And Gore Lyrics - Pure Heroine - Lorde

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 

Dropping glasses just to hear them break 

You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't) 

Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure) 

It's clear that someone's gotta go 

We mean it, but I promise we're not mean 

And the cry goes out (oh!) 

They lose their minds for us 

And how it plays out (oh!) 

Now we're in the ring 

And we're coming for blood

You could try and take us 

But we're the gladiators 

Everyone a rager 

But secretly they're saviors 

Glory and gore go hand in hand 

That's why we're making headlines 

You could try and take us 

But victory's contagious 

Delicate 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 cry goes out (oh!) 

They lose their minds for us 

And how it plays out (oh!) 

Now we're in the ring 

And we're coming for blood

You could try and take us 

But we're the gladiators 

Everyone a rager 

But secretly they're saviors 

Glory and gore go hand in hand 

That's why we're making headlines 

You could try and take us 

But victory's contagious 

No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed 

The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home 

Tired little laughs, gold lie promises 

We'll always win at this 

I don't ever think about death 

It's alright if you do, it's fine 

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 could try and take us 

But we're the gladiators 

Everyone a rager 

But secretly they're saviors 

Glory and gore go hand in hand 

That's why we're making headlines 

You could try and take us 

But victory's contagious
