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
