There is some religious symbolism in this song but it's metaphorical. When Midori was in the US or UK, she went to some churches to listen to gospel music. She liked it and she incorporated that into this track which she co-composed. This song (and the EP) was released during the middle of the pandemic and Asami mentioned that she wanted "Glory to the World" to be a gift of hope to the world during the darkest of times, and she wrote the lyrics to reflect that.
Thanks for your reaction. Song "Glory to the World" written in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic swept the world, when millions of people began to get sick and die. The world plunged into the darkness . The Japanese government declared a state of emergency. Due to the state of emergency, many Japanese were at home in self-isolation. They could not go to work or do business, suffered financial losses. Many people become depressed. The LOVEBITES National concert Tour was interrupted. The band was only able to play 3 concerts in February 2020, the remaining concerts (February, March, April) were cancelled. In one of the interviews, Midori reveals that the LOVEBITES technical support team suffered greatly (there was no work, all concerts in Japan were banned,, work in the studio was sharply reduced, etc., ect) 'Glory to the World' - this is a Hymn to the World (Humanity), which will go through the trials that have fallen to its lot (Covid-19) . This is a call to believe that dark times will end, millions of people will stop dying and life will be reborn. This song was written by LOVEBITES to support people (including his fans) in the most difficult moments, instill in them faith and hope for the best. From an interview with LOVEBITES: " We wrote this song hoping that it would cheer on the World in its current situation ” In the Music Video, the director added: Christian Chapel, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ in our time; bloody stigmata on the head and palms; a large glowing cross above Asami's head (after the second verse, before the guitar solos); Angels who sing (at the end of the song); Jesus goes to the church where they play LOVEBITES. The director added all this to enhance the positive impact of MV on peopleto convince that faith in the best (for religious people - faith in God) will help people survive all this horror that was associated with the pandemic.
This song is actually giving hopes to so many wolfpack out there during the pandemic. I can't even critics this song. It's just perfect, especially for those who seek for hopes.
It is indeed a rare occasion or happenstance that the heavy metal world gets the opportunity of a visit by a an exceptional accomplished multi instrument musician of very high caliber named Miyako. Her brainchild creations and compositions are driving this genre to newer boundaries of complexity and seamless dynamics: an apt recognition as composer extraordinaire.
This song is relentless beauty. The speed and underlying shredding by Miyako & Midori is insane. Haruna is incredible. She plays at hyper-speed driving the song, yet, she's really smart with the use or her china/bells/cymbals and fills, and even though the base playing is a straight line, she keeps it so interesting throughout with subtle and not so subtle changes. Miho is in lockstep with Haruna, very traditional metal with insanely fast finger picking. And of course Asami and her beautiful non-metal/metal vocals. Amazing band, amazing talent, refreshing in this current age of metal.
New EP and also a Blu-ray will be released on August 28. „LOVEBITES EP II“ will also contain a re-recording of the debut „LOVEBITES EP“ in a limited edition „Memorial of the Warrior Souls“ is the recording of last years paid livestream which features 7 live versions from „Judgement Day“ album including „Soldier stands solitarily“

After watching them 2 times in the last couple weeks in their European tour, im already counting the days untill they come back to see them again! Fantastic band! They are playing at the Garage in London July 1st.
Miyako dropped a couple videos showing how she makes demos and also she has a solo Piano album called EtudeOp23 with 6 cover songs converted to Piano Lovebites-Addicted,Deep Purple-Burn,Yngwie Malmsteen-Far Beyond the sun,Gary Moore-The Loner,Helloween-Eagle fly Free (Yes the band also made a cover of this same song as a band), Metallica-Battery
Thank you for your reaction to LOVEBITES. 😃 Very nice reaction and feedback.👍 Thank you for your continued support of LOVEBITES.🙏 Many people who watched the music video for this song thought it would be difficult to recreate this in a live performance. But they did it. About "Glory To The World" guitarist Midori and Vocalist Asami says of the song. When Midori came to the U.S. and between tours in the U.K., Midori found time to visit his local church⛪ many times. It was then that Midori strongly felt the power of church music and the energy of the people. When she composed and arranged "Glory To The World," Midori made it into a powerful song. In an interview for a magazine project, Midori commented, "The world is going through a difficult time right now, and I hope this song can push people back. LOVEBITES was also in a difficult situation where they could not hold live concerts, but Asami went directly to the members' homes to get hints on how to write lyrics. And Asami commented, "Member all felt that we wanted to write lyrics and songs that would be close to the feelings of various people. Asami and Midori both have experience singing gospel songs in church, so their senses matched.
Midori wrote this song. Killer song. Angra / Sonata Arctica vibes. The MV is artistic. Very well done. I like the band in the church. Very nice. Orlando Bloom wandering around getting the stigmata is a bit strange tho.

LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics:
Everything around us will fall into dark
When you keep on looking into the sadness
Nobody in this world may ever be free
My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath
But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
Together we will make it through this deep night
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
SOLO: midori / miyako / both
And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world
Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
I know you really care for me
So I leave everything in your hands
You'd walk with me all the way
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together,
Nothing more precious

Got a cramp in my calf from tapping my foot. Great band!
The guy is Jesus of resurrection and the message of the song is the world overcoming from the epidemic.
After watching them 2 times in the last couple weeks in their European tour, im already counting the days untill they come back to see them again! Fantastic band!
They are playing at the Garage in London July 1st.
You are one of the few guys to recognize the stigma of the video.
Miyako dropped a couple videos showing how she makes demos and also she has a solo Piano album called EtudeOp23 with 6 cover songs converted to Piano Lovebites-Addicted,Deep Purple-Burn,Yngwie Malmsteen-Far Beyond the sun,Gary Moore-The Loner,Helloween-Eagle fly Free (Yes the band also made a cover of this same song as a band), Metallica-Battery
Wonderful song. I saw these ladies live a few days ago, and I've missed this great song. Impressive, with class and quality, and Asami is cute enough.
🤟🏻🔥GloryToLovebitesForever🔥🤘🏻

Midori wrote this song. Killer song. Angra / Sonata Arctica vibes.
The MV is artistic. Very well done. I like the band in the church. Very nice.
Orlando Bloom wandering around getting the stigmata is a bit strange tho.
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
It's Orlando Bloom Jesus.
Glory to Lovebites.
