lyrics

It worries me,
Will my music last until the end of everything?
So fate take heed,
I don’t plan on being forgotten when you bury me.
Now I just need
To think of something I can say that’s worth remembering
I’m here to stay,
I won’t fade away.

When I’m gone, I’ll live on,
I won’t be left behind, I’ll make my mark on history.
My name will remain,
It won’t be lost in time or sink into obscurity.
I’m here to stay (In never-ending memory)
I will not fade away.

I understand
That half my words don’t mean a thing because they’re black and white
But here I stand,
Though one-dimensional I hope that I can leave behind
A face in the sand,
A final sign of how I raged against the dying light.
I’m here to stay,
I won’t fade away.

When I’m gone, I’ll live on,
I won’t be left behind, I’ll make my mark on history.
My thought will be sought,
They won’t be lost in time or sink into obscurity.
I’m here to stay (I leave behind my legacy)
I will not fade away.

Now I’m gone, I live on,
A thousand years or so have passed and still my music sells.
Though interred, I’m still heard,
’Cause what I lacked in depth, I made up for in decibels.

Now I’m gone, I live on,
I won’t be left behind, I made my mark on history.
My name still remains,
It won’t be lost in time or sink into obscurity.
I’m here to stay (You’ll never hear the last of me)
I will not fade away.

Now I’m gone, I live on,
Though interred, I’m still heard
For ever and ever,
I will not fade away.
