hymn for the dead

Singer:anti-flag

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!

the sun sets

the light fades

the blood red on an empty street

it's not night

it's not day

it's no more

for an unfortunate soul who

witnessed his life violently erased

from the horror of the human race

bright futures exchanged for profit

living half alive

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!

in life now pay respects to your blood

those in the vast of the great

unknown

unite there

your heart's one

in moments you'll never forget

yeah

history lessons direct from the grave

lost souls of the lost divide

liberate your generation

living

rotting flesh

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

call out tyranny!

a spark of dissent can light a fury of flame

call out to be free!

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! cut away!

strip away! strip away!

cut away! strip away your chains!

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

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!
