The page contains the lyrics of the song "The Memory Remains" by Metallica.
Lyrics
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd
Cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light
Of an already faded prima Donna
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun
Sets behind your back
Can’t the band play on Just listen they play my song
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
Drift away, fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Fade to black
The memories remain
Yeah, to this faded prima Donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Little tin goddess, dance
Say yes, at least say hello
Say yes, at least say hello
