(A#m C# G# Dm)x2
A#m C#
The sun sets, the light fades
G# D#m
The blood red on an empty street
A#m C#
It's not night, it's not day
G# D#m
It's no more, for an unfortunate soul who
A#m C# G#
Witnessed his life violently erased,
D#m
From the horror of the human race
A#m C# G# D#m
Bright futures exchanged for profit, living half alive
(A#m C# G# Dm)
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors, go!
(A#m C# G# Dm)x2
A#m C# G#
In life now pay respects to your blood
D#m
Those in the vast of the great
A#m C# G#
Unknown, unite there, your heart's one
D#m
in moments you'll never forget, yeah
A#m C# G#
History lessons direct from the grave
D#m
Lost souls of the lost divide
A#m C# G# D#m
Liberate your generation, living, rotting flesh
(A#m C# G# Dm)
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors
A#m C#
Call out tyranny!
G# D#m
A# spark of dissent can light a fury of flame
A#m C#
Call out to be free!
A#m C#
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
G# D#m
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
A#m C#
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
G# D#m
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
A#m C#
Strip away! Be the voice of a generation
G# D#m
Strip away! You've got a choice to make
A#m
Cut away! Cut away!
C#
Strip away! Strip away!
G# D#m
Cut away! Strip away your chains!
(A#m C# G# Dm)
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors
(A#m C# G# Dm)
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors, oh!
