Invictus

I sing of power, magick and faith A sonnet of pure victory A hymn to the spirits of freedom and grace And whichever gods there may be Manacled, beaten, blackened and burned Cast from the light of the goal I'll never falter, stumble or kneel Thanks to the strength of my soul Lashed by the winds of fate Stung by the gods of hate I'm rising in power, I'm rising unchained Call this a sacred vow All that I tell you now I may be bloody, but I am unbowed I am power Harken the hour, season and day Phantom of dark misery Summon your demons, hunger and hate Spirit of impurity Ravaged by fire, stripped and enslaved Torn from the world that I know I'll never cry out, buckle or kneel I am the king of my soul Stung by the gods of wrath Blinded by circumstance I'm rising in power, I'm rising unchained All that I tell you now Sure as a sacred vow I may be bloody, but I am unbowed Die, fall on your sword, fall on your knees Die like your son nailed to his tree Die by my hand, die by my sword Right on this site, vultures defile Die, fall on your sword, fall on your knees Die in the sun nailed to these trees Die by my hand, die in my heart Flung from the heights, forever fall I sing of power, magick and might A sonnet of pure victory A hymn to the fearless, the savage, the brave The spirit of our liberty Total my debts, tally my sins, charge each offence on my scroll I'll never alter the course of my steele, I am the king of my soul Lashed by the winds of fate Stung by the gods of hate I'm rising in power through murdering rain Stronger than faith allows Braver than hero's vows My head is bloody, but I am unbowed I am power Power
