There’s no going quietly into the night.
No surrendering to inevitabilities of time
Or taking shelter in memory and old age.
Not when there’s still something to prove.

There’s no going quietly into the night.
Dignity be damned. I’ll do what must be done.
I’ll fight the tireless enemy that approaches
To give a dying dream another chance.

I will not compromise. I will not be swayed.
These words are not lies. It’s a promise I’ve made.
My fate can’t be postponed. This is a final reckoning.
Cowardice won’t be condoned. My destiny is beckoning.
All debts will be settled. All will be made right…

There’s no going quietly into the night.
Everything I’ve done. Every decision made
Determined this collision course I charted.
And I don’t expect to walk away from this.

There’s no going quietly into the night
I’ve made my peace. And it doesn’t matter
Who’s left standing when the smoke clears.
So long as the final shot fired is my own.

I will not compromise. I will not be swayed.
These words are not lies. It’s a promise I’ve made.
My fate can’t be postponed. This is a final reckoning.
Cowardice won’t be condoned. My destiny is beckoning.
All debts will be settled. All will be made right…

There’s no going quietly into the night
