Defeated but not denied

My beliefs remain mine

I will forever carry on

For I proclaim

Invictus

I remain true to the soul

Never allowing control

My will can never die

For I am strong

I am Invictus

Do you know my pain

In this world?

Of failed dreams

And false hope

No more love for this life

Do you know my fear

Of the darkness?

Of the silence?

Will death consume?

No more love for this world

Forever cast upon a stone of doubt

The human spirit survives no more

Lost in the pursuit of material desires

The individual has faded with time

Do you know my world?

At one with one

Within and without

Drifting through time

Look beyond your world

Past the walls that confine

Discover your true self

And become the embodiment of-

Invictus
