This century's crash and burn (and burn!) Autocracy dethroned by ire commissar doused in fire Make note a million times Their class war, deceit, lies Their compassion laced with despise, yeah All of the hatred they bred All the division they spread We always knew they lived on lies So now it's time to say goodbye To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye To the old guard, tonight we sing To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye Bear witness to this setting sun (Bear witness to this setting sun) The dawning of a new age has begun (The new age now has just begun) From east to west we watch this setting sun The dawning of a new age has begun And it's time, it's time to say goodbye To the old guard, tonight we sing To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye, yeah To the old guard, tonight we sing To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye!
