Elven Defeat

[Chorus]
Charging into battle with my best armor on
Diamonds on my grip, I'm shining, yeah
Overpowering the commander, I've got this duel won
Then from the distance I heard her yell run

[Verse]
The enemies charged with reinforcements
I was about to win and now the field's disjointed
All my heart can feel is disappointment
The victory slipped out my grasp like ointment
I don't want to lose, I don't want to retreat
I can't stomach the feeling of defeat
It's nagging at my mind, what could I have done differently?
If I had moved quicker, the battle would've been complete
It's out of my reach, it's out of my hands
My teammates die and it makes me sad
I can't replace them, it just isn't the same
How could I just let them die there and run away?
They say gear up for another day
But it doesn't feel honorable to lose this way
I'd rather die than ever surrender
Yet somehow I don't know if I'm a pretender
Do I really have what it takes to change fate
Or is all this faith in me misplaced? I don't know, I can't say
Ever since my friends died I'm not the same

[Chorus]
Charging into battle with my best armor on
Diamonds on my grip, I'm shining, yeah
Overpowering the commander, I've got this duel won
Then from the distance I heard her yell run
I heard her yell run, I can't believe this shit
All of this effort lost in the moment, lost in the moment
I can't believe it, the foes really won, rip the village
Charging into battle with my best armor on
Diamonds on my grip, I'm shining, yeah
Overpowering the commander, I've got this duel won
Then from the distance I heard her yell run

[Verse]
The enemies charged with reinforcements
I was about to win and now the field's disjointed
All my heart can feel is disappointment
The victory slipped out my grasp like ointment
I don't want to lose, I don't want to retreat
I can't stomach the feeling of defeat
It's nagging at my mind, what could I have done differently?
If I had moved quicker, the battle would've been complete
It's out of my reach, it's out of my hands
My teammates die and it makes me sad
I can't replace them, it just isn't the same
How could I just let them die there and run away?
They say gear up for another day
But it doesn't feel honorable to lose this way
I'd rather die than ever surrender
Yet somehow I don't know if I'm a pretender
Do I really have what it takes to change fate
Or is all this faith in me misplaced? I don't know, I can't say
Ever since my friends died I'm not the same

[Chorus]
Charging into battle with my best armor on
Diamonds on my grip, I'm shining, yeah
Overpowering the commander, I've got this duel won
Then from the distance I heard her yell run
I heard her yell run, I can't believe this shit
All of this effort lost in the moment, lost in the moment
