Rome wasn't built in a day
You gotta climb a little higher, to the top of the display
Where there's a will, there's a way
You just gotta slit a throat or two to make the weak obey
The headlines are bloody, the red light is on
I don't care for the logic, I just want them gone
So smile for the camera, put on a show
If you try to drag me down, then down you will go
If you want it, just take it
The world's yours, don't waste it
Go make the stars align
To shine
Brighter!
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You'll be
Brighter!
Goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you)
Brighter!
Don't thank the producers, don't thank the divine
This spotlight is hungry and baby, it's mine
I stepped over bodies to get to the stage
Now turn up the volume and let out the rage!
It's not a shot in the dark, not up to chance!
If you got plans, you'll cancel every question mark!
Fish like to swim next to sharks
Yeah, you eat or you get eaten
And you're feastin' on their hearts
If you want it, just take it
The world's yours, don't waste it
Go make the stars align
To shine
Brighter!
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You'll be
Brighter!
Goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you)
Brighter!
The signal is calling, controlling the mind
We leave all the old-fashioned losers behind
You want something newer? You want something real?
Then bow to the master and seal up the deal!
Burn all the scripts and tear down the walls!
I'm standing tall while the old empire falls!
Finally, I'll show them what I'm meant to be (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Brighter)
They won't believe their eyes when I bring them to their knees
To worship me
(Brighter!)
Brighter than the heavens in the skies above (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You'll be
Brighter!
Goin' supernova, all the eyes look up (at you, at you)
Brighter!
Brighter!
