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!

(Am C G Dm)x2

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