VNV Nation - Invictus Lyrics

[Verse 1]Do the lanterns lead us on from afar?Do our eyes belie the memory of the friends we've lost?Take comfort, if you believe you'll meet againBut until that day, as we mortals may, live to honour them[Verse 2]Let us not be weighted by what we can't controlThe past cannot be changed, the future calls us onAnd should you try and fail, stand and start againThe deepest cuts all heal, leaving only what you've learned from them[Chorus]So we change, so we change the worldHiding, not among the thousands but with a voice that's heardAnd the ages turn, as the ages turned beforeIn the acts of our tenacity, long may we endure[Verse 3]Tempered by the forge, laden as the die are castOnwards we move, bearing all our wounds­ until the worst is pastIn the aftermath, we'll answer to ourselvesFor our measure of our actions and for our victories[Chorus] (2x)
