Music Forgive me my folly, I know not my heart I've reached out to find it in vain I've wandered away, I've broken apart But I will be whole once again Oh brothers, oh sisters, would that you may hear Let no one look down on our age Oh mothers, oh fathers, speak not from your fear You once were as young and as brave Now hold your hands up to the fire Feel as the years burn away And do not go quietly into the dark Against the cold night you must rage Oh justice, come swift as a thief in the night And apathy, lay down your head Oh mercy, be sweet as the fruit on the vine And drink from the well once again Now hold your hands up to the fire Be never more eager to blame And do not go quietly into the dark Against the cold night you must rage Instrumental Now hold your hands up to the fire And never more revel in shame And do not go quietly into the dark Against the cold night you must rage Oh do not go quietly into the dark Against the cold night you must rage Yeah, do not go quietly into the dark Against the cold night you must rage
