lyrics

Invictus

From the night that is my cover
Black as pitch from pole to pole
I thank the gods, be they whatever
For my unconquerable soul

In the clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Shall always find me unafraid
And that’s the way it has to be…

I lIve inside these things I say
Just like I live inside my home
Though in this world of words I play
Ultimately, I am alone

So when the end is standing by
Shadows long from head to toe
My blade will cut both deep and dry
And night will fall upon the floor

It matters not how straight the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
And that’s the way it has to be…
