Intro

Verse

  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  This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

  and left to die, championless, championless, championless

Chorus1

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

Verse2

  Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie

  A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.

  This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

  and left to die, championless, championless, championless

Chorus2

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

  (bar mute ) (bar mute )

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

  to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen

  While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
