I ran through the night And found a fox over the lake She said: I have a clear sight You are the master of your fate And after minutes thinking about it I understood from where that came It was whatever gods may be Sending a message to my name You are Invictus, Invictus No matter how strait the gate Invictus, Invictus You are the master of your fate I ran through the day And found a wolf next to a hole He said: No reason to stay You are the captain of your soul And after minutes thinking about it I understood from where that came It was whatever gods may be Sending a message to my name You are Invictus, Invictus No matter how strait the gate Invictus, Invictus You are the master of your fate But as every fable has a moral I shall say that this does too There’s no God, you’re not unconquerable You’re knocked down by a flu You are not Invictus, Invictus No matter how strait the gate Invictus, Invictus You are not the master of your fate
