Ten Times Defeat — Madder Mortem

A daring step The waiting crowd A hungry child must learn to bow

Yes, this is all the bitter truth The gritty sand beneath your feet The taste of failure on your mouth This is a game of hurt

Yes, this is all the bitter truth Yes, this is cold reality This is what you have come to

Yes, this is all the bitter truth Yes, every gesture was in vain This game is harsh and you have lost You know it all comes down to this: Pathetic lies and vanity The taste of sand inside your mouth

A daring step The wanton smile A desperate man Tells desperate lies

Yes, this is all the bitter truth The gritty sand beneath your feet The taste of failure on your mouth
