Invictus
Folkearth Lyrics

Come o'twilight
The singer bids goodbye to the day and welcomes the night.

Gently caress the gleaming snow
The snow is beautiful and the night is peaceful.

As weary I rest beneath the oak
The singer is tired and seeking rest under the oak tree.

Mystic paths unravel before my sight
The paths to the singer's goals and dreams are becoming clearer.

Leading to dreams and hope
The paths to the singer's goals and dreams offer optimism.

Once my time on earth is done
The singer knows that they will eventually die.

I will pass on with the heroes
The singer hopes to be remembered as a heroic figure.

Behold Valhalla's golden-green meadows
The singer imagines a beautiful afterlife in Valhalla.

Feast with all-father and my gods
In Valhalla, the singer will dine with the gods.

At night in the banquet of lords
The singer looks forward to the festivities in Valhalla.

Now I die free
The singer knows that death is inevitable but accepts it with freedom.

And my heart cries victory
The singer considers their life a victory.

I ride the everlasting dreams
In death, the singer's dreams become eternal.

Lightly taking to the wing
The singer imagines themselves flying towards the afterlife.

Invictus, the champion see
The singer sees themselves as an unbeatable champion.

Death benighted my eyes
The singer knows that death is upon them.

Silent bequeath thy frosty tides
The singer accepts death silently.

Wound scared and worn
The singer's body is tired and marked by scars.

This body will lay here forlorn
The singer knows their body will be left lifeless.

Upon my mountain-throne forever I shall dwell
The singer's spirit will remain in a grand mountain throne forever.

King carved in stone
The singer imagines themselves as a powerful leader, immortalized in stone.

Return is lost forevermore
The singer knows they can never return to the world of the living.

Sing an epitaph of glorious deeds
The singer hopes to be remembered for their accomplishments in life.

Sing to the setting of the sun
The singer wants their legacy to live on even after death.

Of valor, the fearless might
The singer wants to be remembered as someone who was brave and strong.

Cast your sweet spell of magic
The singer asks for their memory to be enchanting and inspiring.

Farewell, I kiss thee on the wind
The singer says goodbye to the world of the living.

And on into the night
The singer accepts the darkness that comes with death.

Fly my banner to the sky
The singer's spirit will fly high like a banner in the sky.

Raise a final sword salute
The singer wants to be honored one last time with a sword salute.

Drink the ceremonial wine
The singer imagines a final toast to their life.

Then my pyre set alight
The singer wants a funeral pyre to be lit in their honor.

With the youthful dawn cry no more
The singer hopes for peace and quiet after death.

For mighty was the one gone
The singer wants to be remembered as a great and powerful person.

Beaten yet never defeated
The singer may have faced obstacles, but they were still strong and determined.

Towards oceans unknown I sail
The singer's spirit is sailing towards an unknown afterlife.

I am the captain of my soul
The singer believes they are in control of their own spirit, even in death.

The master of my fate
The singer believes they have the power to determine their own destiny, even in death.
