In the (E minor) selfish hearts of some
The nightmare's coming
With the spilling blood of others

To the depths of human mind
The cry is burning
With the mentor's anger
Of the lesson (G major) ringing (A major) true (E minor)
And for those who live by and
are dying by the sword
They will take their ideals with them
