Victory In Defeat

Your home was broken into

To house a thieve

And the systems they failed you

Gave you no release

With a knife in your hand

You put that thieve to sleep

And the flashing lights fill your eyes

And spot lights wash the room

There will be no getting out of this

They've got all of your exits

Was it ever your plan

When the object of you love was taken

Your love, it turned to hating

The one who did the taking it all

You're here to settle the score

And stepping onto the balcony

Stained red with blood and rifle-beams

You screamed, you screamed

You can't take nothing from me

The night was broke with the crack of them guns

The muzzles flashed and he was gone

But they couldn't take him from me

You can't take nothing from me

And the story told by old men will go

There was a man who lived his life for nothing at all

Unless we recall
