Out of the night that covers me
Black as the Pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed
Through storms and shadows, I will rise, With steadfast heart and fearless eyes
For in the darkest hours of night, My spirit burns, an endless light. Unbroken, I will stand my ground, With courage fierce, my soul unbound
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
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 soul
Through storms and shadows, I will rise, With steadfast heart and fearless eyes
For in the darkest hours of night, My spirit burns, an endless light. Unbroken, I will stand my ground, With courage fierce, my soul unbound
For in the darkest hours of night, My spirit burns, an endless light. Unbroken, I will stand my ground, With courage fierce, my soul unbound
Join me now, with strength and pride, Together, we shall turn the tide
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
