Snog - Into The Light lyrics

In the secret halls they made With violence as their trade Behind curtain, beyond charade In whispers, they say Pain, you've seen it all You stagger and fall But after the fight You're into the light The deeper you go The further you get Try as you might You're into the light The carrot and the stick The walls, so thick The prison of today With malice, they say Out of night that covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid It matters not how straight the gate How charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate And I am the captain of my soul
