“Marching Into the Dark” shows off a distinctive sound in the album which finds John wondering about “individual sacrifice and the course of history”
[Verse 1]
What can you buy with the ultimate sacrifice
If you don't believe in the afterlife?
Oh I still grieve rememberin' what you were like
Now what good is a dream when the dreamer dies?
[Pre-Chorus]
Some are better than good
Greater than great
Some are misunderstood
And they get told to wait by
[Chorus]
All of the greatest
The greatest of all
We're chasing their fading star
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall?
We're marching into the dark
[Verse 2]
What if your life was just in the day to day
And after you're gone the world stays the same?
Why should you love what you're gonna lose anyway?
Oh I've imagined one hundred ways
[Pre-Chorus]
Some are just no good
Some will let it just fade
Some are misunderstood
We'll just have to wait, 'cause
[Chorus]
All of the greatest
The greatest of all
We're chasing their fading star
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall?
We're marching into the dark
[Bridge]
Oh Heaven knows where we are
Chasing the fading stars
Heaven knows where we are
Motioning to the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Some are better than good
And greater than great
Some are misunderstood
They get told to wait
Some are just no good
Some will let it just fade
Some are misunderstood
We'll just have to wait, 'cause
[Chorus]
All of the greatest
The greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star
Wanna know who
Who'll be the latest
The latest to fall?
We're marching into the dark
I wanna go marching into the dark
All of the greatest
The greatest of all
Were chasing their fading star
Were chasing their fading star
Who'll be the latest
Latest to fall?

via Los Angeles Times:
The idea of struggle and the idea of putting your life on the line for an important cause, the metaphor we use is that they’re chasing a fading star into the dark. They’re struggling for an end they may never see. Everything I talk about — improving our schools, prison reform...
