Lyrics The Bitter Aftertaste

[Verse 1]
The roar of victory still echoes in my head
The rush of battle, where the fearless tread
I stood on the peak, with fire in my veins
But now the silence, only emptiness remains

[Pre-Chorus]
The blood, the sweat, the fight—it fed my soul
But now I’m standing here, alone in the cold

[Chorus]
The sweet taste of victory is fading away
The thrill I lived for is gone today
The adrenaline’s gone, and I’m left with the pain
Is there nothing left but this endless rain?
I chased the high, but it didn’t last
Now I’m haunted by the battles of the past
The bitter aftertaste of winning the war
Leaves me wondering, what was it all for?

[Verse 2]
The rush of steel, the clash of might
Fueled by the fire, I embraced the fight
But the flame is gone, and the glory fades
I’m left with shadows of the war we waged

[Pre-Chorus]
The thrill I craved was my only escape
But now I’m lost in the void I can’t reshape

[Chorus]
The sweet taste of victory is fading away
The thrill I lived for is gone today
The adrenaline’s gone, and I’m left with the pain
Is there nothing left but this endless rain?
I chased the high, but it didn’t last
Now I’m haunted by the battles of the past
The bitter aftertaste of winning the war
Leaves me wondering, what was it all for?

[Bridge]
The crown I wear feels heavier than before
The cheers have died, and I need the war
I built myself from the chaos and pain
But without the fight, will I still remain?

[Chorus]
The sweet taste of victory is fading away
The thrill I lived for is gone today
The adrenaline’s gone, and I’m left with the pain
Is there nothing left but this endless rain?
I chased the high, but it didn’t last
Now I’m haunted by the battles of the past
The bitter aftertaste of winning the war
Leaves me wondering, what was it all for?

[Outro]
Now I stand in the silence, no more battles to fight
The glory’s gone, and so is the light
The rush is over, and I’m left alone
In the shadow of a victory I used to own
