## Sign Language Gloss

Who shot that arrow in your throat?
ARROW (CL: shoot-in-neck)

Who missed the crimson apple?
APPLE (CL: arrow miss) WHO?

It hung heavy on the tree above your head
APPLE, TREE (CL: hang)

This chaos, this calamity, this garden once was perfect
PAST PERFECT, NOW UPHEAVAL

Give your immortality to me; I'll set you up against the stars
TRUST-me, YOUR YOUTH (CL: Place-in-sky) STARS


Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A NO

We lied, we can't go on
TWO-OF-US DECEIVE-ourselves, SAME-SAME CAN'T

This is the time and this is the place to be alive
NOW, HERE, SEIZE


Who shot that arrow in your throat?
ARROW (CL: shoot-in-neck)

Who missed the crimson apple?
APPLE (CL: arrow miss) WHO?

And there is discord in the garden tonight
TONIGHT HERE DISCORD


The sea is wine red
SEA RED, DARK

This is the death of beauty
BEAUTY MELT-AWAY

The doves have died
PEACE END

The lovers have lied
LOVERS DECEIVE-each-other


UPHEAVAL


I cut the arrow from your neck
(CL: cut arrow)

Stretched you beneath the tree
(CL: tree, roots)

Among the roots and baby's breath
(CL: FLOWERs, person laying down)

I covered us with silver leaves
(CL: LEAVES, SILVER cover)


Gloria,
SWEETHEART NO

We lied, we can't go on
TWO-OF-US DECEIVE-ourselves, SAME-SAME CAN'T

This is the time and this is the place to be alive
NOW, HERE, SEIZE


The sea is wine red
SEA RED, DARK

This is the death of beauty
BEAUTY MELT-AWAY

The doves have died
PEACE END

The lovers have lied
LOVERS DECEIVE-each-other
