I was not prepared for this
My position so flawed
Fatally overlooked
I was not prepared for this
My broad bravado
Now enfeebled
By harsh realization
My situation is untenable
The force against me
Is greater than anticipated
I am called Tiberius
I have sold my foe short
I have little doubt
Of that which brings me down
I came here sure of success
I came to make war
To conquer all that is against me
Yet
My head hangs low with defeat
My spirit is weak
My morale in shambles
I am broken
My arms
Once readied for battle
Hang limp at my sides
My hands
Once armed for war
Now empty and weak
I am broken
My eyes
Once alive with passion
No longer leave the ground
The battle is lost on all fronts
I am surrounded by defeat
I watch as the line crumbles
No match
For the force brought against it
I am broken

Once alive with passion
No longer leave the ground
The battle is lost on all fronts
I am surrounded by defeat
I watch as the line crumbles
No match
For the force brought against it
I am broken
