Song lyrics

[Chorus:]
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 future's exchanged for profit,
Living half alive

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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!

[Chorus] (x2)
