When the glitter fades
It fades so fast
What really lasts
Did we sing of sacred souls
Did we sing of rock'n roll
What will the anthem be
Has the heart and the harmony
Met pleasingly
When the flicker fades
It fades so fast
Nothing is left
What will be legacies
Recollect no memories
Of the lights and the cheers
'Cause guitars will burn you see
And the human vanity
Should I give
Should I sing some rust
Pity me for my golden lust
And this one's for the lily
And this one's for the rose
Here it is
Let the truth be told
Here it is
We would like to know
Here it is
What will your anthem be
What will the anthem be
What will our anthem be
What will the anthem be
