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