[Verse 1: Gregory Douglass]
Sadly, you are beginning to doubt
Everything you've always been so sure about
Are you still standing proud? Are you around?
Sadly, life is no more but a dream
Merrily as it did seem to the old regime
Are you still standing proud? Are you around?

[Chorus: Gregory Douglass, Gregory Douglass & Anaïs Mitchell]
If you'd have known you would have shown them by now
Shown them by now
Now you're the next of the faded heroes

[Verse 2: Gregory Douglass, Gregory Douglass & Anaïs Mitchell]
Sadly, nothing can ever retrace
Memories made that have been carefully replaced
Are you still standing proud? Are you around?
Sadly, we are delegates of war
Though we don't know what on earth we are fighting for
Are you still standing proud? Are you around?

[Chorus: Gregory Douglass, Gregory Douglass & Anaïs Mitchell]
If you'd have known you would have shown them by now
Shown them by now
Now you're the next of the faded heroes
