Invictus

Out of the night that covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul Invictus, I rise, unbroken, unbound Invictus, my spirit will never be drowned Through the darkness, I'll find my way Invictus, I'll face the break of day In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed Invictus, I rise, unbroken, unbound Invictus, my spirit will never be drowned Through the darkness, I'll find my way Invictus, I'll face the break of day Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid Invictus, I rise, unbroken, unbound Invictus, my spirit will never be drowned Through the darkness, I'll find my way Invictus, I'll face the break of day It matters not how strait the gate How charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul Invictus, I rise, unbroken, unbound Invictus, my spirit will never be drowned Through the darkness, I'll find my way Invictus, I'll face the break of day.
