lyrics

Please go gentle into that good night.
For Pluto, you can see the stars in Flag.
Rage, rage against the artificial light.

Go into the darkened pines so that you might
capture stars in their patterned zig-zag.
Please go gentle into that good night.

In modern times, ‘gainst sky our cities fight
and swallow dark in heavy, plastic bag.
Rage, rage against the artificial light.

For speeding cars the streets demand our sight,
but, Dylan Thomas, here rest your iambic swag
and please go gentle into that good night.

With corners etched by forest, space is tight,
so instead we give in to nature’s nag
to rage, rage against the artificial light.

Go to Mars Hill, and from its height
bathe self in darkened gift to Flag.
Please go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the artificial light.
