Don't | Don't | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
Rage, rage against the dying of the light | |||
I hate to see you surrender without a fight | I hate to see you surrender without a fight | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
Here you are | Here you are, broken down | ||
Want your pot of gold | |||
We're a force in a field | |||
We're a force | |||
Now your trail is cold | Now your trail is cold | ||
You've got nothing | You've got nothing, no emotions | ||
Not a sight of life | Not a sight of life | ||
Gotta wake up | Gotta wake up in a moment | ||
'Cause it's time to try | |||
' | |||
Don't | Don't | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
Rage, rage against the dying of the light | |||
I hate to see you surrender without a fight | I hate to see you surrender without a fight | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
You were young | You were young, you were strong | ||
You were made of steel | You were made of steel | ||
Now you fade | Now you'll fade, vacillate | ||
As they take the wheel | |||
You're a danger to society | |||
You're a danger | 'Cause you don't think right | ||
They've got troubles, they've been digging | |||
' | |||
They've got troubles | |||
Now its time to fight | Now its time to fight | ||
Don't | Don't | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
Rage, rage against the dying of the light | |||
I hate to see you surrender without a fight | I hate to see you surrender without a fight | ||
Don't go gentle into that good night | Don't go gentle into that good night | ||
