Glorious Lyrics

If I find a way then I will make you stay
Maybe one more night if you wanna
If I find the rhyme then I would take the time
Sing you one more line and it will go like

[Chorus]
God bless the world, it's so glorious
God bless the ones we've loved
God bless the ones we've lost
God bless the world, it's so glorious
I will never die, never die like you

If I find the boy, the one with golden eyes
you know i think I'll haunt you
If I find the rhyme then I would take the time
Sing you one more line and it will go like

[Chorus]
God bless the world, it's so glorious
God bless the ones we've loved
God bless the ones we've lost
God bless the world, it's so glorious
I will never die, never die like you

I felt his hand today, I cross my shoulders and I'll knee down
to pray
Say after life's ok, but it got so lonely when you turned away

[Chorus]
God bless the world, it's so glorious
God bless the ones we've loved
God bless the ones we've lost
God bless the world, it's so glorious
I will never die, never die like you

I felt his hand today, you cross my shoulders and I'll knee
down to pray
say after life's ok, but it got so lonely when you turned away
I saw his lie today, you cross my shoulders and I'll knee down
to pray
I feel like hell today, but it got so lonely when you turned
but it got so lonely when you turned away
It got so lonely when you turned away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Glorious lyrics by Pierces, The

I think this is a song about religion, and when a loved one turns away from faith, but it could also be about suicide (a mortal sin in Catholics)

"It got so lonely when you turned away" could mean that one misses someone who turned away from faith, and the "I will never die, never die like you" can mean that the 'lost' friend won't go to heaven and have eternal life, like she will because he denied God.

I think this song questions the basis of religion after the loss of a loved one
