Through light and darkness
I have walked with joy and pain
Seen good men fear so much less
Than to live well and still in vain

In the face of hardship and despair
I have not faltered nor gone astray
Under threats and hateful stare
My hope for solace will lead the way

Though endings come for all
No matter what we keep in sight
I will heed deaths beck and call
I will go, and I will go without fright

It matters not who takes my freedom
It matters not who guards the hole
I am the regent of my kingdom
I am the master of my soul
