Rage (feat. Jade Lewis)

I saw a child standing by the road,
Her eyes dark as night.
The smoke in her hand is all she's got left,
At the end of her tunnel, no light.

A streetlamp flickers above my head.
Demons dance up ahead.
Seems that we've been all but forgotten,
Just some dead weight on their backs.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

A murky haze looms up above
And blocks out the sun.
All around, I see decay, despair,
And hope is not there.

Outside's like a battlefield
With no honor, virtue, or love.
Even through the doorway lies a poisoned stream,
At the oasis, a shattered dove screams.

Now rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Rage, rage against the coming night.

I saw a child walking down the road,
A scar down his chest.
Was told it would bring him honor,
That his God may grant him rest.

Trails of red shoot across the sky,
Now someone's turn to die, like prey.
Seems that we've been all but forgotten,
One day, grow wings and fly away.

So rage, rage against the dying of the light.
A sullen ash falls from above,
And shadows the sun.
All around, I see demise and war,
There's no life in their eyes anymore.

My home is a battlefield,
With death, the streets are lain.
Through the doorway lies no safety,
The oasis, a harbinger of pain.

I see no rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And rage, rage against the coming night.

I know one day that shadow will fall,
And I just hope that child will learn to stand tall.
On broken feet, they'll just fly high away,
Forever is a new day.

Oh, will you rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Rage, rage against the coming night.
Embrace, embrace the breaking dawn.
Embrace, embrace now the shadow's gone.
Embrace, embrace the breaking dawn.
Embrace, embrace the ringing of the song/shadow's gone)
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Rage, rage...
