( A5 C5 G5 D5 )x2

        A5              C5
The sun sets, the light fades
          G5         D5
The blood red on an empty street
         A5              C5
It's not night, it's not day
        G5              D5
It's no more, for an unfortunate soul who
A5                  C5             G5
Witnessed his life violently erased,
                       D5
From the horror of the human race
A5                C5                  G5           D5      
Bright futures exchanged for profit, living half alive
( A5 C5 G5 D5 )
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!
( A5 C5 G5 D5 )x2
A5 C5 G5
In life now pay respects to your blood
D5
Those in the vast of the great
A5 C5 G5
Unknown, unite there, your heart's one
D5
in moments you'll never forget, yeah
A5 C5 G5
History lessons direct from the grave
D5
Lost souls of the lost divide
A5 C5 G5 D5
Liberate your generation, living, rotting flesh
( A5 C5 G5 D5 )
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
A5 C5
Call out tyranny!
G5 D5
A spark of dissent can light a fury of flame
A5 C5
Call out to be free!
A5 C5
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
G5 D5
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
A5 C5
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
G5 D5
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
A5 C5
Strip away! Be the voice of a generation
G5 D5
Strip away! You've got a choice to make
A5
Cut away! Cut away!
C5
Strip away! Strip away!
G5 D5
Cut away! Strip away your chains!
( A5 C5 G5 D5 )
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
( A5 C5 G5 D5 )
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!
