Winning and Losing

Its winning
The darkness is winning
My defenses are down
My rear flank destroyed
The guards are dead
I am losing
There is no strategy left
My generals have been defeated
My lieutenants have been captured
My captains are dead
Its winning
The shadows have invaded
there is nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
I am losing this war
I am going to surrender
there is nothing left for me to do
I've lost this war
