I have joined the long defeat
That falling set in motion
And all my strength and energy
Raindrops in the ocean
So conditioned for the win
To share in victor's stories
But in the place of ambition's din
I've heard of other glories
And I pray for an idea
And the way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
I can't just fight when I think I'll win
That's the end of all belief
Nothing has provoked it more
Than a possible defeat
And I pray for an idea
And the way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
Walk a while, we sit and rest
Lay it on the altar
I won't pretend to know what's next
What I have I've offered
And I pray for a vision
And the way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
And I pray for inspiration
And the way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
It's too heavy to carry
And I will never leave
