Remember the Victory


Remember the victory, o Alexander, remember the victory
Remember the gallop, the celebration, the feast
Remember the touch of sun blinding your eyes after you're done plunging to the dark
Remember the touch of the ones who called out your name, who called you hero, who called you a beast, who called you a man

Remember the pain, o Alexander, remember the sorrow
Remember the bruise, the scar, the blood
Remember the tears, o Alexander, inside the captivity, amidst the filth, under the exile
Remember the grief, the lost, the humiliation, the disarray
Remember the shout, the throw of stones, the hope that's lost

Remember all of them, Alexander, remember them
because a new victory is at the dawn of the day.
