When they tu[A]rn the pages of his[F]tory
When these da[G]ys have passed long ag[E]o
Wi[A]ll they read of us with sad[F]ness
For the see[G]ds that we let gr[E]ow?
We[F#] turned our[G] gaze 
fr[G]om the c[F#]astles i[G]n the [A]distance
[F#]Eyes cast do[G]wn on th[G]e 
pat[F#]h of le[G]ast resista[A]nce

Cit[G]ies full of hatred, fear and li[A]es
Wi[G]thered hearts and cruel, 
tormented e[A]yes
S[G]cheming demons dressed 
in kingly gu[A]ise
B[G]eating down the m[D]ultitude 
and s[A]coffing a[B]t the wis[G]e

The h[A]ypocrites are [F]slandering 
the s[G]acred halls of T[E]ruth
A[A]ncient nobles s[F]howering their 
b[G]itterness on y[E]outh
C[F#]an't we f[G]ind t[G]he mi[F#]nds 
that m[G]ade u[G]s stro[A]ng?
C[F#]an't we l[G]earn to [F#]feel 
what's ri[G]ght and what's wr[A]ong?
W[A]hat's wrong?

C[G]ities full of hatred, fear and l[A]ies
[G]Withered hearts and cruel, 
tormented e[A]yes
[G]Scheming demons dressed in kingly g[A]uise
[G]Beating down the m[D]ultitude 
and s[A]coffing a[B]t the wi[G]se

[G]Can't we raise our eyes 
and make a s[A]tart?
[G]Can't we find the minds to 
lead us [A]clos[A]er [B]to th[G]e H[G]eart?
