| 歌曲 | The Long Defeat |
| 歌手 | Sara Groves |
| 专辑 | Tell Me What You Know |
| 作曲 : Groves | |
| I have joined the long defeat | |
| That falling set in motion | |
| And all my strength and energy | |
| Are raindrops in the ocean | |
| So conditioned for the win | |
| To share in victor's stories | |
| But in the place of ambition's din | |
| I have heard of other glories | |
| And I pray for an idea | |
| And a way | |
| I cannot see | |
| It's too heavy to carry | |
| And impossible to leave | |
| I can't just fight when | |
| I think I'll win | |
| That's the end of all belief | |
| And nothing has provoked it more | |
| Than a possible defeat [Chorus] | |
| We walk a while we sit and rest | |
| We lay it on the altar | |
| I won't pretend to know what's next | |
| But what I have | |
| I've offered | |
| And I pray for a vision | |
| And a way | |
| I cannot see | |
| It's too heavy to carry | |
| And impossible to leave | |
| And I pray for inspiration | |
| And a way | |
| I cannot see | |
| It's too heavy to carry | |
| And impossible to leave | |
| It's too heavy to carry | |
| And I will never leave |
