Censured into inescapable fate Behold the righteous greet the years as they burn Clinging upon the starless night Blind I was but now I can see the light Frail is my strength though crushing my mind The hour of collapse, a sullen intent confined Fearless again I throw myself Into the Abyss that lurks inside my head Learning's crown, thrown away Yearn the fount of unending flame Tear Life's Wisdom Page Filled with rage Don't find yourself astray At the close of day Do not go gentle into that good night Old age should burn and rave at close of day Rage, rage against the dying of the light Learning's crown, thrown away Yearn the fount of unending flame Tear Life's Wisdom Page Filled with rage Don't find yourself astray At the close of day
