lyrics

[Intro]
So bring your armies and accomplishments
Bring it on
Do your worst
I dare you
Reign
Reign

[Verse 1]
You're lying to yourself
When you close your eyes
And say you see as well as I do
So take everything else
(So take everything else)
If I can't have it when I die
Then tell me
Where does the value lie?

[Chorus]
So bring it all to the table
(Bring it all)
Stack it up
Stack it up
I've got a fire
I'll burn your empire down

Bring it all to the table
(Bring it all)
Stack it up
Stack it up
To the sky
I'll bring you to the ground

[Verse 2]
I was not placed on this earth
To serve
A man
Of worth
No more than I am

Well, I know you felt
The weight of the world
As it weighed on your shoulders
What did you expect
When you said you're a god
With a pose, can you hold it now?

[Chorus]
So bring it all to the table
(Bring it all)
Stack it up
Stack it up
I've got a fire
I'll burn your empire down

Bring it all to the table
(Bring it all)
Stack it up
Stack it up
To the sky
I'll bring you to the ground

[Chorus]
So bring it all to the table
Stack it up
Stack it up
I've got a fire
I'll burn your empire down

Bring it all to the table
Stack it up
Stack it up
Stack it up
Stack it up

[Chorus 2]
All of my
Judges have died
With guilty verdicts
And all of my
Friends will know that
I'm far from innocent

And oh, how blithe
Is every last one of
Your children
Who goes to sleep at night and
Knows his faults are forgiven

[Chorus 2]
All of my
(All of my)
Judges have died
(Judges have died)
With guilty verdicts
(Guilty verdicts)
All of my
(Oh)
Friends will know that
(Oh)
I'm far from innocent
(Oh, oh oh)

about

The Dawn Retreat image

The Dawn Retreat Aledo, Illinois

The Dawn Retreat is the musical equivalent of a superhero team-up, but with more guitars and slightly less spandex. Their vocalist is like the lovechild of Burt McCraken and Michael Jackson. The guitarist's riffs are so catchy, he's still in quarantine. The bassist's grooves are so funky, you'll need a bath. And the drummer's beats are so deadly, he's wanted in three states. ... more
