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