Dm C
[Verse 1] 0’43”
Dm C Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders, Dm C Here are the young men, well where have they been? Dm C We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber, Dm C Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in, Dm C Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying, Dm C We saw ourselves now as we never had seen. Dm C Portrayal of the trauma and degeneration, Dm C The sorrows we suffered and never were free.

Dm C Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever, Dm C Can't replace the fear, or the thrill of the chase, Dm C Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings, Dm C Open then shut, then slammed in our face.
