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).
From director Clint Eastwood, Invictus tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.

The charity single is available to download here: http://po.st/InvictusiT The choir of wounded, injured or sick ex- servicemen and women came together just two months ago as part of Gareth’s latest TV show, a two-part BBC documentary which followed their journey to the Invictus Games and recording the single. Gareth and the choir co-wrote the music and lyrics for ‘Flesh and Blood’ – a process which challenged the members to dig deep into their experiences of injury or illness and the different stages of their recovery.

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
