  • 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 like was just in the day to day
    And after you're gone the world stays the same?
    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
    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?
    We're marching into the dark
    I wanna go marching into the dark
    All of the greatest
    Greatest of all
    Were chasing their fading star
    Who'll be the latest
    Latest to fall?
