(One more time!)

When I set out on this journey
I thought it would never end
When I started down that road
I could not see the end
And when I took that first step
I fell in so deep (so fucking deep)
And all those 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! (x3)

[Chorus:]
So what are you going to do? Die?
No!
You gonna lay down and die?
No heck!
I will not admit defeat! (x2)
I will see
Victory (x2)

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 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! (x3)

[Chorus:]
So what are you going to do?
Die?
No!
You gonna lay down and die?
No heck!
I will not admit defeat! (x2)
I will see
Victory (x4)

Do I have any friends here?
I can't see
Are any of my friends here?
I can't see
What about you?
Will you be a friend to me?
What about you?
Will you be 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 see what will be? (x2)
Is it victory?
Victory (x3)

Now I can't show you
All the things I've seen
And I can't make you feel
Anything
Not what they meant to me
Someday I know,
No matter how hard we try
We are all going to have to
Lay down and die
So maybe I should just tell you
What I hope and believe
For every defeat there will be
A victory (x2)
In defeat,
Victory!
