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