No Beauty In Defeat

(It was years ago and yesterday

When I lost you in the fray)

No one knew how you died, somehow I knew they always lied

It’s easy to hear whispers kept inside

I tried to stay away from you, on the day they buried truth

But I had to see them there, standing in the dew

It’s such a shame that you aren’t here, We had so much time – so little fear

But now all I have are my running tears

Nevermind the tears, try to forget the fears

There must something better… somewhere out there

You and I we knew it all, and we blew it all

We can live forever

In just one night

He said “life’s cruel, and it’s always been this way

“And I wish I could find a way to stay

“There must be a way to save , The world – what’s left out there anyway”

We were liars, we were young, and we were brave

But I knew what was up head, I knew where this path led

Because all the heroes that ever lived are dead

He tried so hard to quench the flames, But in his hands torches blazed

Life’s a cycle, and it’s sure as fire cruel

Nevermind the tears, try to forget the fears

There must something better… somewhere out there

You and I we knew it all, and we blew it all

We can live forever

In just one night

I’m living now in the ashes of the life we knew we’d have

The lights are out, the walls are crumbling down

It smells like slow dancing, fast heartbeats - There’s no beauty in defeat

No glory in a your silent renown

I’m not the same since that day you know

I’m know I’m right, I just can’t stand the sight

So I’ll try to fight the fires raging inside, And yet I know I cannot hide

The fact that I am following you down

Nevermind the tears, try to forget the fears

There must something better somewhere out there

You and I we knew it all, and we blew it all

We can live forever

In just one night
