"Linguistically, the Pyrrhic War is the source of the expression 'Pyrrhic victory,' a term for a victory won at too high a cost. Its origin can be seen in Plutarch's description of Pyrrhus' reaction to the report of a victorious battle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_War

OH THE IRONY

And I fought for it all
And I thought that I'd never fall, but I was wrong
The word said, the people fled
Who would've guessed that, this was the end.

This is what you expected
By the count of all the blood and tears, you wouldn't care to know
This is what you expected
When you pull the trigger, cross the line.
Now watch as I fall through the sky
