The original Pyrrhic victory came courtesy of Pyrrhus of Epirus, a Greek king who was undone by his costly battles against the Romans. Pyrrhus first invaded Italy in 280 B.C. after allying himself with Tarentum, a Greek-speaking city that resented the Roman Republic’s increased domination over their homeland. He arrived with a force of some 25,000 men and 20 war elephants—the first the Roman legionaries had ever faced—and immediately scored a famous victory in his first battle at Heraclea. The following year, he bested the Romans a second time during a heated clash at Asculum.

Pyrrhus fancied himself a latter day Alexander the Great, and he’d hoped his invasion would give his empire a foothold in Italy. But while he’d routed the Romans at both Heraclea and Asculum, he had also lost more than 7,500 of his most elite fighters, including many officers. Pyrrhus had no way of replacing his casualties, and his failure to deal the enemy a deathblow sent morale plummeting within his ranks. According to the ancient historian Plutarch, the warrior king was quoted as muttering, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Following a setback at the Battle of Beneventum in 275 B.C., he reluctantly called off his campaign and sailed back to Greece.

PYRRHIC VICTORY

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes

Are you feeling good
It seems you should
Now the smoke has cleared
Now that you are feared

Your triumph is great
Are you ready for your fate
Cause for elation
A grand celebration

Oh, it doesn’t feel right
Oh, this dishonorable plight 

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

You lick your wounds
All your lovers are gone
Alone in your palace
Your light has shone

All your friends in flight
All your allies are foes
It’s not an end
The start of your woes

Caviar and cigarettes
Dances in pirouettes
Glitter, riches, fame and glam
Black tie Russian roulette

Pyrrhic Victory

See It Now...

Some notes got corrected (placed more accurately on a staff: better timing, span and velocity of notes).

Genre - Experimental

River of Forgetfulness - [Transposed(+1) to the "best" key]

We have been guilty
when the mind takes over

heed the human debris

but let the ego    go

it does not need
to be taken hostage

OR

Smacked in the face

lend a soulful ear, instead

don't test the waters just yet

see it 
for the ego wants to 
be seen

then proceed 
with extreme caution

until you feel the 
depths of your being
anchor you

let go

move in the heart

Then

every action 
will be exactly what 
is needed

let the cleansing of 
time wash over you
and move in peace

I Don't Wanna Fuck With Your Head

Chant @DominiqueBriand 
Musique et chant @Tulipe-Records

« La tendresse »
On peut vivre sans richesse
Presque sans le sou
Des seigneurs et des princesses
Y’en a plus beaucoup
Mais vivre sans tendresse
On ne le pourrait pas
Non, non, non, non
On ne le pourrait pas

On peut vivre sans la gloire
Qui ne prouve rien
Etre inconnu dans l’histoire
Et s’en trouver bien
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Il n’en est pas question
Non, non, non, non
Il n’en est pas question

Quelle douce faiblesse
Quel joli sentiment
Ce besoin de tendresse
Qui nous vient en naissant
Vraiment, vraiment, vraiment

Le travail est nécessaire
Mais s’il faut rester
Des semaines sans rien faire
Eh bien... on s’y fait
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Le temps vous paraît long
Long, long, long, long
Le temps vous parait long

Dans le feu de la jeunesse
Naissent les plaisirs
Et l’amour fait des prouesses
Pour nous éblouir
Oui mais sans la tendresse
L’amour ne serait rien
Non, non, non, non
L’amour ne serait rien

Quand la vie impitoyable
Vous tombe dessus
On n’est plus qu’un pauvre diable
Broyé et déçu
Alors sans la tendresse
D’un cœur qui nous soutient
Non, non, non, non
On n’irait pas plus loin

Un enfant vous embrasse
Parce qu’on le rend heureux
Tous nos chagrins s’effacent
On a les larmes aux yeux
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, mon Dieu...
Dans votre immense sagesse
Immense ferveur
Faites donc pleuvoir sans cesse
Au fond de nos cœurs
Des torrents de tendresse
Pour que règne l’amour
Règne l’amour
Jusqu’à la fin des jours

Aneurysm

(In the Springtime of his discontent, how the husty lunger was upon him. His solvent wraith, projected into the higher ether. How was he too know? That his shadow was rooting into the nightmare latitudes to lay with the terror of all things. That the third lung would attack him, straight through till Winter.)

     ...

I've got alot to hold,
deep down here in the mold,
me and my damaged brain,
still trying to explain,
I've got alot to hold,
I've got alot to...

I cannot walk the walk,
I cannot talk the talk,
me and my damaged brain,
(and it's glitching)
still trying to explain,
(and it's itching)
I've got alot to hold,
I've got alot to,
I've got alot to...
