hymn for the dead
Singer:anti-flag
because in death as in life
sing a hymn for the world
the blood red on an empty street
for an unfortunate soul who
witnessed his life violently erased
from the horror of the human race
bright futures exchanged for profit
because in death as in life
sing a hymn for the world
in life now pay respects to your blood
those in the vast of the great
in moments you'll never forget
history lessons direct from the grave
lost souls of the lost divide
because in death as in life
sing a hymn for the world
a spark of dissent can light a fury of flame
sound off! be the voice of a generation
dissent! you've got a choice to make
sound off! be the voice of a generation
dissent! you've got a choice to make
strip away! be the voice of a generation
strip away! you've got a choice to make
cut away! strip away your chains!
because in death as in life
sing a hymn for the world
because in death as in life
sing a hymn for the world
