Lyrics
The Good Fight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Consider the odds, consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless, the campaign has died
In the planning stages and the fallen faces are the singularproofs
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion has been out-bided
Denounced and rescinded and left to die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
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 out-bided
Denounced and rescinded and left to die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
I begged you not to go
I begged you
I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
As you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who willlisten
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
