To rage against the dying of the light  
appears to be as popular as ever,  
as if the day might fail to follow night.

But it has never failed yet, am I right?  
So does it seem particularly clever  
to rage against the dying of the light?

And yet they persevere and rage, despite  
not making any difference whatsoever,  
as if the day might fail to follow night.

Ironically enough, they call it “fight”,  
this hopeless, wholly laughable endeavor,  
to rage against the dying of the light.

Disheveled, dirty, don’t they look a fright?  
As if they haven’t showered in forever,  
as if the day might fail to follow night.

It’s plain, in Times New Roman, black and white,  
but they continue, so to hell, what-ever,  
to rage against the dying of the light  
as if the day might fail to follow night.
