Victory's Curse - West Coast AI (Power Metal)

"Victory's Curse" is a power metal song that explores the emotional turmoil and emptiness felt after winning a battle but realizing that the victory came at a great personal cost. It delves into themes of hollow triumph, the heavy burden of loss, and the realization that the spoils of war are often not worth the price paid. The song paints a vivid picture of a hero who, despite achieving victory, is left to grapple with the haunting consequences of their actions, symbolized by a lonely figure in a dark and stormy battlefield.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
In the heart of the storm, where the lightning strikes
We stood tall, our swords raised high
Victory’s flame in our eyes, burning bright
But beneath the armor, a shadow hides
Pre-Chorus:
We fought with honor, we fought with pride
But in the echoes of the fallen cries
The glory fades like the setting sun
For though we conquered, we were undone
Chorus:
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Our hearts are shattered on this crimson shore
The crown of triumph, a heavy chain
In the wake of victory, we bear the pain
The spoils of war, just dust in our hands
The price of conquest, we didn't understand
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Now we wander in the dark, forever more
Verse 2:
On the field of the slain, where the brave once stood
The silence screams, it’s understood
Our brothers fallen, their voices gone
In this hollow triumph, we march alone
Pre-Chorus:
The banners wave in the winds of despair
But there’s no solace, nothing compares
To the empty throne, the barren land
This hollow crown falls from my hand
Chorus:
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Our hearts are shattered on this crimson shore
The crown of triumph, a heavy chain
In the wake of victory, we bear the pain
The spoils of war, just dust in our hands
The price of conquest, we didn't understand
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Now we wander in the dark, forever more
Bridge:
The fires of glory, now burn to ash
In the silence, the memories clash
The price of power, the cost of pride
In the end, there’s no place to hide
Chorus:
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Our hearts are shattered on this crimson shore
The crown of triumph, a heavy chain
In the wake of victory, we bear the pain
The spoils of war, just dust in our hands
The price of conquest, we didn't understand
For we won the battle, but lost the war
Now we wander in the dark, forever more
Final Chorus:
For we claimed the victory, but lost the heart
Our dreams lie shattered, torn apart
The crown of triumph, a burden we bear
In the aftermath, the pain laid bare
The spoils of war, like sand they slip
Through our fingers, into the abyss
For we claimed the victory, but lost our soul
Now forever we pay the toll
