A Pyrrhic Victory

Invictus (Chugga Chugga)

A Pyrrhic Victory


Victory with devastating cost
Is to the victor
Carrying implications
That another such victory
Will at last cause defeat
Ultimately cause defeat

You bite your tongue
Don’t let your courage fail
If we were born to die
There’s no more will to live

You tried, you tried to believe it
But you couldn’t see it
And now I’m holding it all
And I’m holding on to

So show me what’s real
When faced with your fears
Will your courage dissolve
Our hearts hold fire
It makes us so much stronger

And now that all, that all bets are in
We conquer on, taking all
Taking all in our path
We conquer on, on
We conquer on

Never, never regret
For what you’ve done
And what it’s worth
Never, never regret
And now I’m holding it all

So show me what’s real
When faced with your fears
Will your courage dissolve
Our hearts hold fire
It makes us so much stronger

You tried to believe it
But you couldn’t see it
And now I’m holding it all
All on my back
You tried to believe it
But you couldn’t see it
And now I’m holding it all
All on my back
Until, until I’m finally free
I won’t be stronger
And I’m holding on to you
I’m holding on to you

Show me what is real
When faces with all your fears
And I’m holding on to

So show me what’s real
When faced with your fears
Will your courage dissolve
Our hearts hold fire
It makes us so much stronger
So much stronger
So much stronger
Never regret what you’ve done!
