REIGN SUPREME LYRICS

1. Mother Superior

i just had to let you know it broke my heart to let you go there's something strangling beneath this skyline like treading water in a stormy sea so go and fill your heart now take back your love from me because the world won't wait for regret to set in i'm sorry, i'm sorry forgiveness is an empty promise promise you won't forget me now because i just had to let you know it broke my heart to let you go so send your sinking ship to sea and take back your love from me

2. Saving Grace

born alone, i'm always trying and failing to escape the slowly sinking feeling i have worn like a weighted crown of thorns can we share this burden of being born alone? we fucking die alone no words can change what's written in stone so i fall, fall down to my knees oh god save me from the hands of my fellow man but no one can save me from this path i've chosen now to leave those empty words behind, i can't be saved crashing bores and lifeless whores, all that surrounds and the hunter becomes the hunted down, trust in doubt trust in nothing but a reckless abandon and the hunter becomes the hunted down, so save yourself and if you spit, i'll swallow every bitter taste buried so deep inside of me this sovereign heart is my saving grace could never be a part of something more could never be a part of something worth dying for and i'll live a life that doesn't mean anything break the cycle, break those chains but when i die, you'll sing songs that don't mean anything break the cycle, break the chains we all die alone

3. Persevere And Overcome

i will bow to no one no gods, no masters to show us mercy in the face of defeat this endless suffering in the kingdom we've created at the cost of the weak and i know that there is no other way but i can never be your savior, your one to blame fear is your god now and i know if can fight this i'll have learned from my mistakes i've lived so blind and careless but now i know the path it takes condemned to hang your head we bleed the same blood, red, red i'm hopeless i will bow to no one fear is your god now goddamn the consequences the empty beds and restless heads reject their great american myth of persevere and overcome i will bow to no one

4. Apostle

goddamn don't you look me in the eyes you've got nothing but a twisted understanding of what it takes to follow your heart you're just an actor playing a part called your bluff straight from the start apostle, appearance is your only salvation believe what you hear from the mouth of madness you surround yourself with a life of emptiness run yourself in circles to try to please the world you're just an actor playing a part the hands of judgement tear you apart apostle, appearance is your only salvation believe what you hear from the mouth of madness the shepherd leads the flock to slaughter but i won't follow they sway the masses like blades of grass i see the weak, they fall to their knees a generation afraid to pay the cost of thy righteous holocaust obey the words of your false gods follow

5. Crushed By The Weight

it's always something new the same fucking excuses "i just can't quit" pollute your body to erase your past but physical distraction won't last the weight of your past is crushing you detach yourself from what they did to you and don't let regret swallow you whole the time is now to turn and walk away from all that you can't change so here we go again same story, different situation crushed by the weight of the world that turned it's back on you and so you turn to me and i walk away i walk away i would do anything to make you whole again but i can't change your past and only you can change yourself i won't be here

6. In Absentia

so far from where i should be but this lonely road is all i know a past and future without a present i put my life on hold, see this through and every breath i take brings another dream to life and every day that passes i let it pass me by i'm only halfway human the rest of me is machine i am reborn i am reborn every day that i wake to a foreign sun and every night that "i still miss someone" i am uncomfortable always i'm not alone a temporary home nowhere to call my own watch the world you love you by and i can't help but wonder if it's getting better and you can't help but make things any fucking worse i'm only halfway human the rest of me is machine i am reborn

7. Failure

i fail to see your reasons why everything is alright in this world of deception you can run but you can't hide so i try to convince you you can't run from the truth but every time i try i fucking fail i fail

8. Waiting

[Instrumental]

9. And Come What May

and come what may i know that i'll survive but life puts your will to the test of love and death and baited breath i lost again i put the pen to the paper so read the words i wrote as favors i wrote this song to let you know my friend to serve a constant reminder and come what may, i'll still be here needing you, and i know you need this too this heart, this heart of mine has seen so many things and i know that they were untrue, but i've never doubted you so please, please don't take for granted what we have achieved know that you are my everything there is no me without a you and come what may, i'll still be here love every moment cherish every second i have with you you'll never walk alone i'll never leave your side this love will persevere long after our bodies have died let me wash away every tear you've ever cried you'll never walk alone i'll never leave your side they can't take it away (love) the only thing that makes this life worth living we'll always carry each other we'll carry on

10. False Prophets

your eyes are blinded, obstructed you can't see how all your talk means nothing to no one and how your act isn't fooling me your one true love, your "all that i've got" is something you don't grasp at all come face to face with your pride before your fall and this has gone on far too long i bit my tongue and i swallowed the words that ate me up inside can't wear your heart on your sleeve when you've got nothing inside and every day it gets worse and worse despite how hard i try to crush the insincere i'm calling you out right here, right now just you and me and your hypocrisy

11. Slipping Away

tested my patience, now feel my hate it's always blinded me i'd pull the fucking trigger just to feel release the temptation of satisfaction, indulging in regret "i'm about to overload" "hold back or explode" don't let go, don't let this moment crush you don't let go, don't let this moment slip away i don't know anything anymore i don't know anything so many years ago, i lost my way but i never had it anyway sold my soul to learn it wasn't worth the price i paid the life i made a shot to the heart is just a shot in the dark i'm sick of feeling sorry for everyone but myself don't let go, don't let this moment crush you don't let go, don't let this moment slip away i can feel it, i can feel myself, slipping away i'd turn back time to begin again, but it won't don't let go, don't let this moment crush you don't let go, don't let this moment slip away

12. To Live And Die (In Vain)

i look back upon a life spent waiting, wasting time wishing for what can never be mine so many nights staring up at a blood red sky i had to find strength inside to take what's mine so i'll live in vain, and i'll die in time always got tomorrow on my mind some days i'm amazed to see the way you react can't take the pressures of every day i look back upon a life spent waiting and i know that it's hard to get by but that's the price you gotta pay in these goddamned times we'll tempt fate, cheat death suffer and cry (to an empty sky) so i'll live in vain and i'll die in time and if we could live forever we would bury ourselves in time watch this world that we've built burn to the ground burn it down watch this world that we've built as it all falls down to live and die in vain i fucking struggle through a youth defined by defying through a life lived unsatisfied i had to find the strength inside sacrifice yourself to the trials of modern existence be born anew in the bowels of american violence

13. A Ghost In The City

i'm so sick of wishful thinking turn the page, the clock is ticking wishing i could change your world but sometimes hope is so far, oh so far away i can't walk these streets anymore they cry your name they cry and i lost myself when i lost you i saw the hope in your eyes a future never realized never forget your name your face your fucking scent stained myself my world, myself the world we knew. oh so far away i can't walk these streets anymore they cry your name they cry and i won't live in memories of yesterday see the signs your world came to an end today it doesn't matter what the fuck we say your world came to an end today i can't sleep, i don't dream i just lie there wide awake i found a soul so pure a gift sent from above but only death is certain it cheats us of our loves this is my way of saying goodbye
