Verse One:
Condemn the heads of the ever-learning
Blot out the pages in the sacred tongues
Board up the windows where the candle's burning
These are the days of the gifted young

Chorus:
Listening for wisdom
Weeping (Crying) bitter tears
Eyes like diamonds
Hearts of steel
Murdering truth for passionless gain
The gifted youth 
kneeling (at the altar of pain)

Verse Two:
Prepare the ground for the un-needed
That dwell in the houses of the twisted limb
Throw down the throne where justice is seated
Set up the altar of the Aryan

Verse Three:
The high and mighty cry out 'treason'
If you challenge the lie that they call truth
For every time there is a season
And these are the days of the gifted youth.
