Lyrics
What can you buy with the ultimate sacrifice
If you don't believe in the afterlife?
Oh I still grieve rememberin' what you were like
Now what good is a dream when the dreamer dies?
Some are better than good
Greater than great
Some are misunderstood
And they get told to wait by
All of the greatest
Greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall?
We're marching into the dark
What if your life was just in the day to day
And after you're gone the world stays the same? Ooh
Why should you love what you're gonna lose anyway?
Oh I've imagined one hundred ways
Some are just no good
Some will let it just fade
Some are misunderstood
We'll just have to wait, 'cause
All of the greatest
Greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall?
We're marching into the dark
Oh heaven knows where we are
Chasing the fading stars
Heaven knows where we are
Motioning to the dark
Some are better than good
And greater than great
Some are misunderstood
They get told to wait, oh
Some are just no good
Some will let it just fade
Some are misunderstood
We'll just have to wait, 'cause
All of the greatest
Greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star
Wanna know who?
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall? (Oh)
We're marching into the dark (I wanna go marching into the dark)
(Oh) all of the greatest
Greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star (were chasing their fading star)
Who'll be the latest
Latest to fall?
Marching into the dark
