Sinful Youth

The hearts of the young seek all sin.
Pureness from birth, turns to hatred
Guidance is combated with strength
They wish for nothing but revenge.

Adolescents compete with old,
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
When the future lies in their hands,
One cannot prevent the terror.

All that which lies ahead is doomed
This generation has anger
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
In a world crammed with war and hate.

Self-destruction reigns absolute
During the course of today’s age
One must fear future above past
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
