"Even Victory Brings Loss"

So long we've been fighting this
Going back to the precipice
And retracing
With the hope we'll see the day
When all these ties to terror will release
And these neverending fires cease
In the daylight
How many fighters lay deceased?

We lay in broken pieces
In the aftermath, we can't go back
To the way it was before
We've overcome, but come undone
Our ships burnt at the shore
This ain't Hollywood, there aren't no
Perfect endings anymore
Victory is just defeat that you endure

Life fades, it's a mystery
How it lingers still aloft
In the background gaze
While our semblance fades
Still clinging to that cross
And there's a heartbeat underneath this flesh
Even though the flesh betrays
If we make it to the ending
Will there be something left to save?

We lay in broken pieces
In the aftermath, we can't go back
To the way it was before
We've overcome, but come undone
Our ships burnt at the shore
This ain't Hollywood, there aren't no
Perfect endings anymore
Victory is just defeat that you endure

What we've lost along the way
What we've lost along the way
We've all lost along the way
So stand today
