2. Invictus (5:35)
[Endyamon:]
I sing of power, magic 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
[The Godhead:]
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
[Endyamon:]
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, magic 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 offense on my scroll
I'll never alter the course of my steel
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!
I sing of power, magic 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
[The Godhead:]
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
[Endyamon:]
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

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 offense on my scroll
I'll never alter the course of my steel
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!
