Supremacy Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Wake to see, your true emancipation is a fantasy
Policies have risen up and overcome the brave
Greatness dies, unsung and lost, invisible to history
Embedded spies brainwashing our children to be mean
[Chorus]
You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
[Verse]
Wake to see, your true emancipation is a fantasy
Policies have risen up and overcome the brave
Greatness dies, unsung and lost, invisible to history
Embedded spies brainwashing our children to be mean
[Chorus]
You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
About
Genius Annotation
‘Supremacy’ sees the band going to “absurd levels,” according to Matt. Spiralling swamp blues of the track builds to a climax of orchestral hysteria as Matt orates a terrifying scene of mankind losing its supremacy over the Earth as “the seas have risen up” and energy shortages cause global desperation.
According to a French magazine, Jeuxactu, the song has elements of “Kashmir” from Led Zeppelin in its guitar riff and orchestration.
During the post-Madness debut interview on Radio One with Zane Lowe, Matt said the song had a “big 7-string riff.”
This song has been compared to Led Zeppelin and a James Bond theme tune.
