No victory comes without a price
Measured defeat on every side

Vanquish
The battle may be won
But war still rages on

Vanquish
The glory fades into
The truth of what was lost

We cannot rewrite history's page
But we can learn from our mistakes

Vanquish
Prevailing wisdom held
The past can be denied

Vanquish
The blood and tears of war
Despair not sacrifice
