Glory Days
Extreme Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sound the bell and ring the alarm, glory glory
Breaking out to the sound of the drums, glory glory
Here we come, we're taking it
Going in all the way
Years to come they will be singing our song, glory glory
We have come so far, though the road been hard
But today we are young and wild at heart
Raise your glasses in the air, oh the glory days
Make a toast and celebrate to the glory days
Life right now don't get no better than this, oh the glory days
Life so good no moment should be missed, oh the glory days
From the ground up to the golden dust, glory glory
Heavens gates smiling down on us, glory glory
Do it now no time to waste, tomorrow comes it will be to late
Years to come they will be singing our song, glory glory

We have come so far, though the road been hard
But today we are young and wild at heart
Raise your glasses in the air, oh the glory days
Make a toast and celebrate, to the glory days




Life right now do't get no better than this, oh the glory days
Life so good no moment should be missed, oh the glory days

For anyone who watches the Spartan races, this song was played on the episode where Amelia Boone had broke her leg and was doing the race with the open class. She met several very inspiring people, who were doing the Spartan with various handicaps. That gave her all the strength she needed to complete it, broken leg and all.
