Superman Is Dead - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I believed in everything

I believed in the stories that he told to me

The life affirming bullshit that he sold to me

But now I see

That nothing can protect me from the darkness

No one's here to take away the dread

The bad guys won the battle

There's chaos in the streets

And Superman is Dead

Superman is Dead

You were always everything

A calming voice at times when I was petrified

You knew just what to say to make my fears subside

But I guess you lied

'Cause now your cape lies tattered, torn to pieces

The fires of despair can only spread

We never saw it coming

It took our breath away

Superman is Dead

Superman is -

How could it happen you ask

How could our greatest fears come to pass?

An ordinary day becomes nightmare

I thought you were unsinkable

Immune from the unthinkable

But I was so naive and unaware

'Cause it didn't take Lex Luthor to send you on your way

Just a car that didn't see you

On that breezy autumn day

If only we had missed the bus

If only I had held your hand

If only you were here right now

To tell me it will all be okay

But it won't be okay

No, it won't be okay

So dim the lights and pray for ye who's fallen

Raise the flags and staff as it is said

I took it all for granted

And now it's much too late

Superman is Dead

Superman is -
