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