[Verse 1]
They told him what a man was supposed to be Show up, shut up, take the job they had for him He did it for a year, clocked in, clocked out Came home, sat in the dark, and hated the quiet One morning he didn’t set the alarm Left the uniform on the chair Walked out with nothing in his pockets And didn’t answer when they called his name

[Chorus]
I make the rules now I make the rules now Nobody else gets a say I make the rules now Invictus I don’t answer to you

[Verse 2]
He stopped going where they expected him Stopped saying the things that kept the peace A friend asked why he wouldn’t settle down He said, “Because settling felt like lying” He slept where he could, worked when he had to Gave money away when he had extra Kept none of the promises he didn’t mean And started keeping the ones he made to himself

[Chorus]
I make the rules now I make the rules now Nobody else gets a say I make the rules now Invictus I don’t answer to you

[Verse 3]
They called him selfish, called him lost Said he’d end up with nothing if he kept on He listened, then went home and wrote it down What he would do, what he wouldn’t do No stealing, no begging, no fake respect Help if he could, walk away if he couldn’t Hurt no one who hadn’t hurt him first And never again live by someone else’s list

[Bridge]
He stood in the road when the car didn’t slow Didn’t move, didn’t flinch, just waited It swerved He stayed on his feet That was the day he stopped being afraid of them

[Final Chorus]
I make the rules now I make the rules now Nobody else gets a say I make the rules now Invictus They can take the job, the name, the house They don’t get the rest Invictus He locked the door, sat down, and decided what came next

[Outro]
Invictus Invictus
Un-conquered..
