Nature has some new plague    To run in our streets    History some new wrinkle    We are doomed to repeat    Fugitives at the bedroom door    Lovers pause to find and open store    Rain is burning on the forest floor    And the red tide kisses the shore       This is not a false alarm    This is not a test       Stay out of the sun    It only burns my skin    Sky full of poison    And the atmosphere's too thin    Bless the sun, the rain no more    River running like an open sore    Black wind falling to the ocean floor    And the red tide washes ashore       This is not a false alarm    This is not a test       Nowhere we can fly away    Nowhere we can rest    The party is disrupted by    An uninvited guest       Deadline approaches    For the weary land    It used to be something    But we let it run down in our hands    Too late for debate, too bad to ignore    Quiet rebellion leads to open war    Bring a sea-change to the factory floor    As the red tide covers the shore       Now's the time to turn the tide    Now's the time to fight    Let us not go gently    To the endless winter night    Now's the time to make the time    While hope is still in sight    Let us not go gently    To the endless winter night
