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