Coheed and Cambria
Ladders of Supremacy
[Verse 1]
Oh, we've only got one chance at this
The severity unmerciful as the tension sits
As the world comes into view, our biggest fears, they seem to all come true
[Pre-Chorus]
So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall
Go on, swallow your defeat
[Chorus]
Stay down, boy, see, ya got clowned, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy
[Verse 2]
The time has come for us, accept all you've become
All your chances burn to ash, the еnd's begun
Here wе watch as time moves on
Away from all the things we could have done
[Pre-Chorus]
So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall
Go on, swallow your defeat
[Chorus]
Stay down, boy, see, ya got clowned, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy
[Post-Chorus]
Evil does as evil do
All you want, they took from you
So that's how it goes 'cause who you are, take a look
You knew you never had a chance
You never had a chance to be loved
[Bridge]
No matter how hard you want to play
You'll always have one foot in the grave
You just wanna live, but you were born to lose, to lose
Now get up from the gravel
And dust off your shoulders
Because now it's your chance to prove
[Outro]
Climbing up the ladders of their supremacy
Was it everything you had dreamed?
Oh, did you make your mark
Or did you let them stand between?
Between you and everything
