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
 And all the things that were so hard-won
 I thought I would always keep
 Now what do you think I see
 Standing like a wall in front of me?
 Defeat, not victory
 Defeat, not victory
 Defeat, not victory
 So what are you going to do? Die? No
 You gonna lay down and die? No
 I will not admit defeat
 I will not admit defeat
 I will see victory
 Victory
 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
 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
 Defeat, not victory
 Defeat, not victory
 So what are you going to do? Die? No
 You gonna lay down and die? No
 I will not admit defeat
 I will not admit defeat
 I will see victory
 Victory
 Victory
 Victory
 Do I have any friends here?
 I can't see
 Are any of my friends here?
 I can't see
 What about you?
 Could you be a friend to me?
 What about you?
 Could you mean 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 forgive me?
 Can you forgive me?
 Can you see what will be?
 Is it victory?
 Victory
 Victory
 Victory
 Now I can't show you all the things I've seen
 And I can't make you feel anything
 Certainly not what they meant to me
 And someday I know, no matter how hard we try
 We are all gonna 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
 For every defeat there will be a victory
 In defeat, victory
