If I wanted to say eternal darkness in latin...?

Since a lot of latin-based languages have nouns before adjectives (i.e. the dog white sat in front of the house big), to say eternal darkness, would you say tenebrae invictus, or invictus tenebrae?

    The correct translation would be tenebrae aeternae.

    Invictus means unconquered, ungovernable. Not only does it have the wrong meaning, but it is in the masculine singular form, whereas tenebrae is feminine plural.
