ears<\/p>\n<p>Bridge 2<br \/>\nWe\u2019re chasing perfection and the hope of resurrection<br \/>\nEach night we die and then we rise again<br \/>\nIt\u2019s the belief that we matter<br \/>\nAs we try to climb the ladder<br \/>\nAs the Glory Road brings us back again<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<br \/>\n Die hard<br \/>\nCause faith runs deep<br \/>\nJust surrender everything<br \/>\nAnd these dreams are yours to keep<br \/>\nHeaven knows<br \/>\nBut I can\u2019t tell<br \/>\nI swear if there\u2019s a heaven<br \/>\nThe glory road must run through hell<br \/>\nV4<br \/>\nWe\u2019re livin in the darkness at the edge of the light<br \/>\nOn the glory road we chase the rainbow\u2019s end<br \/>\nLost in the moment we ignore the sacrifice<br \/>\nWe\u2019re sure the glory road will wash away our sin<\/p>\n<p>Bridge 3<br \/>\nYou may want to inspect us<br \/>\nBecause our wiring is defective<br \/>\nAll we want to do is play<br \/>\nBut when the dirty work comes round<br \/>\nAnd the whip comes down<br \/>\nThe glory road, always makes you pay<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<br \/>\nDie hard<br \/>\nCause faith runs deep<br \/>\nJust surrender everything<br \/>\nAnd these dreams are yours to keep<br \/>\nHeaven knows<br \/>\nBut I can\u2019t tell<br \/>\nI swear if there\u2019s a heaven<br \/>\nThe glory road must run through hell<br \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"collapseomatic \"
