Invictus (feat. Marko Hietala & Paolo Ribaldini)

Deceitful cries under the sun
To crucify
What have you done?
I will not fight your shameful war
Or spread more lies
But I must stand my ground

Invictus I remain

You're heading towards your own destruction
You're heading towards your own destruction

But what is gained (You mutineers)
By a war of pride and greed? (You've made a scene)
Debris of your failed siege (Now face your empty new frontier - justice)
What you're fighting for you've made a field (You should have learned your end is near)
Of embers and barbarity (Do you feel it?)

And what remains (You mutineers)
In the wake of enmity? (You've made a scene)
Destruction six feet deep (Now face your empty new frontier - justice)
You can never take what I've achieved (You should have learned your end is near)
Nevеr, you'll be buried a namelеss thief (Do you feel it burn?)

We are now the cruel collective faction
Bow down or face destruction

And what remains (You mutineers)
In the wake of enmity? (You've made a scene)
Destruction six feet deep (Now face your empty new frontier - justice)
You can never take what I've achieved (You should have learned your end is near)
Nevеr, you'll be buried a namelеss thief (Do you feel it burn?)

I'm gonna watch your fire burn your eyes
I'm gonna stand in truth you can't deny
You crowned a fool
Now bear your shame
I will not condescend
To bow before your claim
Not this time
This is your last goodbye

Bearing the wounds you've given me
Knowing they're worth the victory
Holding, always standing my ground
Ground
Losing your pride and dignity
Screaming your rage and treachery
Waging this war of misery now
Now

Invictus maneo
Perge ad victoriam
Undaunted, in the end
I'll be standing no more sorrow
I'm watching far below
Soaring pride is your downfall
Your cunning collective
Fierce today but gone tomorrow

Invictus maneo
Perge ad victoriam
Undaunted, in the end
I'll be standing no more sorrow
I'm watching far below
Soaring pride is your downfall
Your cunning collective
Fierce today but gone tomorrow
