brush these shackles off the wind

with a drunken insomniac frown

A never-ending repetition

to melt the frozen sun

And there is no victory

There is no loss

The ones that I love are safe

from the horrors I keep

There is no victory

There is no loss

No joy but the dawn of peace

My courage is crashing

on the breeze

and dark is the moon

through the trees

In perfect silence,

in hopeless defeat

I'll own my pain

and put down my feet

And there is no victory

There is no loss

The ones that I love are safe

from the horrors I keep

There is no victory

There is no loss

No joy but the dawn of peace
