Consider the odds

Consider the obvious

The martyr is meaningless

The campaign has died

In the planning stages and the fallen faces

Are the singular proof that it was ever alive

This purchased rebellion has been outbidded

Denounced and rescinded and

Left to die championless championless championless

I begged you not to go

I begged you I pleaded

Claimed you as my only hope

And watched the floor as you retreated

I begged you not to go

I begged you I pleaded

Claimed you as my only hope

And watched the floor as you retreated

Hope has sprung a perfect dive

A perfect day a perfect lie

A slowly crafted monologue

Conceding your defeat

This purchased rebellion

Has been outbidded

Denounced and rescinded and

Left to die championless championless championless

I begged you not to go

I begged you I pleaded

Claimed you as my only hope

And watched the floor as you retreated

I begged you not to go

I begged you I pleaded

Claimed you as my only hope

And watched the floor as you retreated

Does it comfort you to know

You fought the good fight

Basking in your victory

Hollow and alone

While you boast your bitter

Bragging rights to anyone who'll listen

While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
