Текст песни: Invictus + перевод

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
