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
My head is bloody, but unbowed
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
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
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
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid
I am the master of my fate
It matters not how strait the gate
I am the captain of my soul
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
