Star A.D.
Faith No More · Other Songs - Faith No More
See tomorrow dreamin'
You don't need your freedom
Star A.D.
A little joke that's understood
It's all over the world
A little joke that's understood
It's all over and over and over!
And dying is dry-
Like a fact of history
And when you die, you'll become
something worse
Than dead-
You'll become
A legend
We are forever
Star A.D.

Its intricate composition and shifting dynamics reflect the creative tension that characterized the Angel Dust era, contributing to the album's enduring legacy in alternative metal. The recording remains a staple in the band's live performances, highlighting its importance within their broader discography and influence on the genre.
