Defeated lyrics

It's easier to lick the wounds of war

If the cause was victory done

But for those that found failure

The cost was far too high for regret

That souls forfeited no longer know

For a world filled with what-ifs

Brash, bold feats eagerly retold

Cannot hide remorse gathered

Fostered by the reality of truth

That finds itself in excess drink

For those that commanded men

Their decisions deemed destiny

And guilt for their cherished lives

Forfeited without plausible result

Bring's to heart a cause's plight

To win is to deal with the losses

The realities of war's misfortunes

To lose is to be disenchanted e'er

Eroded by regret if not misplaced

For none win a cause unjust

A game once played as a child

To fight and die again and again

To grow up and find no fun there

To fight and die again and again

Never to win, doomed to defeat
