The decline and the fall Of modern times Let it go on Without me tonight Rivers will rage Skies open wide Let 'em rage on Without me tonight Because I'm home For the first time Been such a long time Away from the place Let the dawn Break to find me Where no one can find me No, not a trace No, not a trace The powers that be That play with our lives Let 'em forget All about me tonight If justice is blind For once it's all right Don't want a soul To find me tonight I'm tired of being the stranger It's time to be with my own A moment of peace in the madness Fortressed away in my home The decline and the fall Of modern times Let it go on Without me tonight Let it go on Without me tonight
