When I set out on this journey
I thought it would never end
ย
When I started down that road
I could not see the end
ย
And when I took that first step
I fell in so deep, so fucking deep
And all the things that were so hard-won
You know, I thought I would always keep
Now what do you think I see?
Standing like a wall in front of me
Defeat, not victory
Defeat, not victory
Defeat, not victory
ย
So what are you going to do? Die? No
Gonna lay down and die? No way
I will not admit defeat, I will not admit defeat
I will see victory
Victory
ย
Pride and deceit have choked my life like weeds
And I lost sight of what I really had
What I really need
And all the things I should've valued
You know, I gave 'em away for a prayer and a song
And now when I reach out for them
They are gone
Now you know what I see
Standing in front of me
Like a headstone
A fucking monument to human misery
Defeat, not victory
Defeat, not victory
Defeat, not victory
ย
So what are you gonna do? Die? No
You gonna lay down and die? No way
I will not have disappeared, I will not have disappeared
I will see victory
ย
Victory

Do I have any friends here?
I can't see
ย
Are any of my friends here?
I can't see
ย
What about you? Could you be a friend to me?
ย
What about you? Could you mean something to me?
I've got a question to ask you
And then you can ask it of me
It's a simple request
And then you can make it of me
Can you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
Can you forgive me?
Can you see what will be?
Is it victory?
Victory

ย
Now I can't show you all the things I've seen
ย
And I can't make you feel much of anything
Not what they meant to me
And someday I know, no matter how hard we try
ย
We are all going to have to lay down and die
ย
So maybe I should just tell you what I hope and believe
For every defeat there will be a victory
For every defeat there will be a victory
In defeat, victory
