Invictus is a 2009 American-South African biographical sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation about the events in South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which was hosted in that country following the dismantling of apartheid. Freeman and Damon play, respectively, South African President Nelson Mandela and François Pienaar, the captain of the South Africa rugby union team, the Springboks.Invictus was released in the United States on December 11, 2009. The title refers to the Roman divine epithet Invictus and may be translated from the Latin as "undefeated" or "unconquered". "Invictus" is also the title of a poem by British poet William Ernest Henley (1849–1903). The film was met with positive critical reviews and earned Academy Award nominations for Freeman (Best Actor) and Damon (Best Supporting Actor).
I was wandering like a ghost
With no place to run
The net is closing in
Trapped in this dead end
Chorus
The solace, the end I...
Await
The solace, the end I...
Await
Take me oh...."With your soul I play"
Take me now..."She is made of clay"
Just a miracle..."You are nothing but a pawn now"
Life's a giant cemetery
The illusion's to believe
That we can't get out of this place
When we only leave the grave
Wait a minute my son
I'll make your dream come true
You' re nothing but a pawn
You' re in my hands now
Now I can't believe my eyes
Has he heard my voice
This so familiar shadow
Coming from the fog
Thanks my God, show me now
