Anti Flag - Hymn For The Dead

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

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!
