The voiceover: Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole. I thank whatever god maybe for my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud, defeating the bludgeoning of chance; my head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place if wraith and tears looms but the horror of the shade and yet the menace if the year finds and should find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate… how changed with punishments the scrolls. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.
