Say Invictus

Out of the 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 strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Tell me why she wears his pin; Tell me why she's strong for him; Tell me why she is so true; She told me why, now I'll tell you: Because he is a Kappa Bold; Because he is a knight of old; Because he wears the Kappa shield, That is the reason she had to yield. So dance her in a corner, hold her tight like this. Put your arms around her waist, and on her lips a kiss-(if she'll let you). And if she starts to murmur, if she starts to cry; Just tell her it's the sacred seal of Kappa Alpha Psi.
