Consider the odds
Consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has diedIn the planning stages
And the fallen faces
Are the singular proof
That it was ever aliveThis purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championlessChampionless, championlessI begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreatedHope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeatThis purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championlessChampionless, championlessI begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreatedDoes it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
