PARADE OF FIREFLIES

PARADE OF FIREFLIES [Full Strong Drum Intro] [Verse 1] In the quiet of the night, I watch the shadows move, Chasing little lights that disappear too soon. Maybe some lights were never meant to stay, They only came to teach me when to walk away. rap and second voice singing: Maybe that's the cruelest part of letting go, You don't lose them once, You lose them as you grow. [Short Riff] [pause] [Chorus] parade of fireflies!! Dancing through the night!! Shining for a moment!! Then fading out of sight!! parade of fireflies!! Like dreams we left behind!! Glowing bright for a while!! Until we lose our will to fight!! [Verse 2] rap: I chase every spark like I'm chasing the past, Trying to hold on, but nothing ever lasts. The brighter they burn, the quicker they fade, Some lights are meant to shine, not meant to be chased. They flicker like memories I can't hold, Bright for a moment, then suddenly cold. Some things shine the brightest just before they’re gone, Some things leave the deepest scars without a sound at all. rap and second voice singing: Maybe that's the cruelest part of letting go, You don't lose them once, You lose them as you grow. [Short Riff] [pause] [Chorus] parade of fireflies!! Dancing through the night!! Shining for a moment!! Then fading out of sight!! parade of fireflies!! Like dreams we left behind!! Glowing bright for a while!! Until we lose our will to fight!! [Instrumental] [Bridge] I used to think that light was meant to lead me home, Now every glow reminds me I still walk alone. They shine for a moment, then fade before my eyes. Like all the dreams we buried under endless skies. [Half-Time Instrumental] [Final Chorus] parade of fireflies, Dancing through the night, Shining for a moment, Then fading out of sight. parade of fireflies, Like dreams we left behind, Glowing bright for a while, Until we!! forget!!! what we were!! fighting for!!! [rap on second voice background]: Maybe that's the cruelest part of letting go, fighting for!!! [rap on second voice background]: You don't lose them once FIGHTING FOOOOOOOORRRRRRR!!! [rap on second voice background]: You lose them as you grow. [Short Riff — Fade Out] LINKIN PARK
