I lay beneath the oaks of the forest
Stood in awe at the ocean deep and blue
But people here and people there
Are silent in sorrow and loud in fear
And they're down in the shadows a-draggin' their shoes
Rage against the dying of the light
Don't go gentle into that good night
Like aurora borealis strike out upon an arctic sky
And rage against the dying of the light
Bloody wars put color on my TV
Indifference is poisoning my mind
I turn my head and I close my eyes
A hypocrite shelter on the rise
I long to see a candle burnin' deep inside
Rage against the dying of the light
Don't go gentle into that good night
Like aurora borealis strike out upon an arctic sky
And rage against the dying of the light
The blinded fighter staggers on the sidewalk
The poet's heart fades right into the night
The chapel door is squeaking
The beast is inside
And I howl at the moon with all my might
Rage against the dying of the light
Don't go gentle into that good night
Like aurora borealis strike out upon an arctic sky
And rage against the dying of the light
The roar of hunger echoes across the skyline
The bugle calls the partisans to fight
Let it blow down Mt. Calvary
Through the halls of bureaucracy
I'd better join that song before I lose my sight
And rage against the dying of the light
Don't go gentle into that good night
Like aurora borealis strike out upon an arctic sky
And rage against the dying of the light
I lay beneath the oaks of the forest
Stood in awe at the ocean deep and wild
But listen all of ye infidels
There's yet another story to tell
So let us flag down a shootin' star and take a ride
Help me rage against the dying of the light
Don't go gentle into that good night
Like aurora borealis strike out upon an arctic sky
And rage against the dying of the light
