[based on INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley]
Out of the night
that covers me
black on black
from pole to pole
you took hold
and you taught me
no one could ever conquer my soul
no one will
ever keep me down
I am what
I am I found
I can get up
and start again
if I have one true friend
you rescued me
you rescued me
you set me free
you rescued me
now have nothing to fear
since the day that you came here
and you rescued me
when my luck
went from bad to worse
you taught me not
to ever cry out loud
under the hammer
of the gods
I stand bloody
but tall and proud
no one,
no one can stop me now
beyond this world
of pain and fear
is the nightmare
of the grave
yet through the sorrow
and the tears
I walk through my life unafraid
you rescued me
you rescued me
you set me free
you rescued me
now have nothing to fear
since the day that you came here
and you rescued me
It doesn't matter
what the hate
I can take
the thunderbolt
I am the master
of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
you rescued me
you rescued me
you set me free
you rescued me
