Fame... the blink of an eye, the fleeting light of a firefly... breath's vapor on a cold winter morning. So many hearts and lives entwined... changed or lost forever... by the chase.
lyrics
Pressing on to get the glory
How many lives have passed
For gold or fame, the same old story
Going nowhere fast
Blessed are all the survivors
Blessed are they who have moved on
Blessed are we who have known the pain
Lost somebody to Lady Fame
Many lines make up a story
A few an epitaph
So where’s the gain, the fame, the glory
In what doesn’t last
Blessed are all the survivors
Blessed are they who have moved on
Blessed are we who have known the pain
Lost somebody to Lady Fame
Pressing on to get the glory
How many lives have passed
For gold or fame, the same old story
Going nowhere fast
