Ex Tenebris Fortitudo.
Out of the storm that rages on ,
Dark as the night from dusk to dawn ,
I praise the power that makes me strong ,
And keeps my spirit from the throng.
In the fierce grip of destiny ,
I have not flinched nor fled the scene.
Despite the wounds that mar my skin,
My heart is whole ,my will is keen.
Beyond this realm of pain and fear ,
Lies but the shadow of the grave ,
And yet the horror of the years ,
Cannot subdue my soul's brave wave.
It matters not how hard the fight,
How grim the odds that mock my goal,
I am the ruler of my plight ,
I am the master of my soul.
