Invictus Lyrics by Delain

Dark Waters

2023

[Intro]
(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)

[Verse 1: Diana Leah]
You're heading towards your own destruction
You're heading towards your own destruction

[Pre-Chorus: Diana Leah, Paolo Ribaldini]
But what is gained by a war of pride and greed?
(You mutineers 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 еmbers and barbarity

[Chorus: Diana Leah, Paolo Ribaldini]
And what remains in the wakе of enmity?
(You mutineers you've made a scene)
Destruction six feet deep
(Now face your empty new frontier justice)
You can never take what I've achieved, never
(You should have learned your end is near)
You'll be buried a nameless thief

[Verse 2: Diana Leah]
(You said)
We are now the cruel collective faction
Bow down or face destruction

[Chorus: Diana Leah, Paolo Ribaldini]
And what remains in the wake of enmity?
(You mutineers you've made a scene)
Destruction six feet deep
(Now face your empty new frontier justice)
You can never take what I've achieved, never
(You should have learned your end is near)
You'll be buried a nameless thief

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 1: Marko Hietala, Diana Leah]
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

[Bridge 2: Marko Hietala & Diana Leah]
Bearing the wounds you've given me
Knowing they're worth the victory
Holding, always standing my ground
Losing your pride and dignity
Screaming your rage and treachery
Waging this war of misery now

[Outro]
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
