The Good Fight

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Denounced and rescinded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
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Denounced and rescinded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
