[Verse 1]

Young hearts beating
Em
In the middle of the night

Sounding like the thunder
C G
Of some sacrificial rite
Am
And the young hearts bleeding
Em
For the freedom of their youth
F C
Struggle in the back seat
G
Find out the truth

Am
Young hands reaching
Em
For the goal they can't attain
F C
His blood begins to boil

When he thinks that it's in vain
Am
And a young heart burdened
Em
With the weight of vanity
F C
Summons all her strength
G
To save her purity

We're seeing the dawn of
Am
Yesterday's skies
