stay gold

a time to laugh

a time to cry

and beat the darkness into light

we'll write our names across the town

up is up and so is down

forgive your lovers

but don't forget their names

and let their spirit remain

stay gold

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

the stings our fingers just won't go

chrome letters

outlines

arrows fall

the words took off

we watched them fall

desire of our mind is now written on the wall

forgive your lovers

but don't forget their names

and let their spirit remain

stay gold

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

how vast the darkness

we disappear into the light

follow the torch we made

in the end

we're all made of gold

and now i know

i will not be saved

unless i follow

and now i know

i will not be saved

unless i follow

stay gold

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

gold

you shine the light for us to follow

if you lead

i will follow
