The Legacy of the Defeated

So much in vain you might think
 When it's over everything is lost
 Too late to negotiate
 Accept or regret it
 What once was so cold
 Is melting and vanishing
 The grand scheme has failed
 And the wrath has only begun
 Fierce and aggressive
 It's piercing through
 Who will remember?
 The legacy of the defeated
 In the long run
 It's collecting years in the dust
 Overwhelmed by the massive appearance
 A breathtaking setback
 Over and over
 The last scene repeats
 Caught barehanded
 And disarmed by reality
 Emptiness
 Silence
 What is left
 Emptiness
 And silence
 Is what is left
 Images slowly fading
 Truth detected
 By others neglected
 It's like a virus spreading inside
 Eating itself out
 What's written in blood
 Is worth nothing when it's forgotten
