Lower your flag, surrender your ship
There's no use in protesting your fall
We fought our battles to lose our wars
And drowned your reasons all the more
Have your last bout in the ring
It'll never amount to anything
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Good fortune laughs at our misery
You think you're safe with injury
The quietest capture you can imagine
Did little to save our tiny truce
Was it worth all this trouble
Did your truth burst like a bubble
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Did you fight all your wars
Did you settle all of your scores
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
