Victory

Nomeansno


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 those 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 

[Chorus:] 
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 
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 

[Chorus] 

Do I have any friends here? 
I can't see are any of my friends here? 
I can't see what about you? 
Will you be a friend to me? 
What about you? Will you be a friend 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 see what will be? 
Is it 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 going to 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
