Superman Is Dead Lyrics by Kyle McArthur

Superhero (Original Cast Recording)

2019

[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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
'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 -
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 3]
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 Dead
Superman is -
