lyrics

Paranoia engulf this place
Down the halls and up each stair case
Shed light on the path we chose
To everyone who should have known
We can do so much better than this mediocrity
Burnt out by bureaucracy
And the flaws in our regime

Have you followed the doctrine?
Recite back the lullabies
Do not go gently from this place
All living things crave an empty space

Stand by your guns
So when the devil walks we'll all have some fun
We've all seen braver men downed by dumb luck
Your incompetence breeds our disgust

Gather round the masses
Lined up with open arms
In the face of a cold embrace

Have you followed the doctrine?
Set free from your own mistakes
Do not go gently from this place
Save yourself before we fall in disgrace

The map has been misplaced

What is your meaning?
What is your purpose?

You better watch what you say
Do not go gently from this place
