Out of   that covers me
I'm unafraid  I believe
Beyond place  of wrath and tears
the hours  that turn to
whatever
whatever Gods may be  days were set aside
9000 days of ,  9000 days to thank Gods wherever they may be
It matters not the circumstance
to rise above   a chance
I thank whatever  whatever Gods
9000 days were set aside  9000 days of destiny
9000 days to thank Gods wherever they may be
Oh broken that turn to stone  can break the land but mine is
9000 days were set aside  9000 days of destiny
9000 days to thank Gods wherever they may be    I thank whatever whatever Gods may be

INVICTUS
Out of the night that ,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatevermay be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how  strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my .

William Ernest Henley
