Lyrics Ladders of Supremacy - Coheed and Cambria

Oh, we've only got one chance at this
The severity unmerciful as the patient sits
As the world comes into view, our biggest fears
They seem to all come true

So, how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about your fall
Go on, swallow your defeat
Stay down, boy, sear the crown, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the ladders of supremacy

The time has come for us, accept all you've become
All your chances burn to ash, thе end's begun
Herе we watch as time moves on
Away from all the things we could've done

So, how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about your fall
Go on, swallow your defeat
Stay down, boy, sear the crown, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the ladders of supremacy

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

No matter how hard you wanna play
You'll always have one foot in the grave
You just wanna live, but you were born to lose, to lose
You get up from the gravel
And dust off your shoulders
And now, here's your chance to prove

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?
