Delain - 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 by a war of pride and greed?
Debris of your failed siege
What you're fighting for you've made a field
Of embers and barbarity

And what remains in the wake of enmity?
Destruction six feet deep
You can never take what I've achieved, never
You'll be buried a nameless thief

You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
Do you feel it?
You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
Do you feel it burn?

(You said)
We are now the cruel collective faction
Bow down or face destruction

And what remains in the wake of enmity
Destruction six feet deep
You can never take what I've achieved, never
You'll be buried a nameless thief

You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
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
Losing your pride and dignity
Screaming your rage and treachery
Waging this war of misery 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
