brendan burke - austerlitz كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
did napoleon ever feel worthless?
how much time was he spending alone?
you say it’s simple, but i’ve got no mind
for the strategies history has shown
i drew up the lines and the movements
on daydreams and stretches of skin
i protected my flanks
and positioned my forces
but i couldn’t see yours closing in

[verse 2]
we met when we both saw the flashes
i was blinded but you sent out scouts
in all of that whiteness, i thought it was pure
but you had already found a way out
how many days dodging bullets?
how many spent counting the dead?
i lеarned there’s a diffеrence between what i have
and what just lives in my head

[chorus]
you could have been austerlitz
my crowning achievement
my masterpiece painting
yours for the taking
the perfect idea of you
but instead you’re like hastings
and i’m dead on the field
i thought that you might be
my glorious victory
but instead
you’re more like my waterloo
[verse 3]
remember the dozens of rejects
harsh weather or difficult terrain
it had to be perfect and though you were perfect
at least in some reach of my brain
all of my failed little projects
all of these vulnerable sides
but the way that you spoke to me and cried in the night
switched something on in my mind

[verse 4]
i can’t breathe through all the smoke
lying hurts and black powder chokes
i can’t make out when it’s true
i swear to god, i’m over you
i’m over you
[verse 5]
i’m rozhestvensky, or maybe i’m beauregard
someone pathetic and falling apart
you’re an attack in the morning
you’re a j_panese fleet
you’re all of my failings and flaws and defeats
i was this close to victory
this far from happiness
all of my planning and tactics just led to this
goodbye to austerlitz
goodbye to tours
i’m so sick of other people winning my wars
you’re not just history that’s meant to be changed
your heart disassembled and all rearranged
it was my fault for thinking that
it’s not fair to you
to be reduced to tsushima or shiloh or waterloo
go ahead and leave me
go ahead and leave me
i’m just a part of some other man’s army
who left me to freeze here
on a road out of russia
and you don’t have to forgive me
