Anti-Flag - Hymn For The Dead Lyrics






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!

  28. j.... ....

    @Brendan Egan you clearly have no clue what eugenic means haha what a moron

  29. C.... B....

    I LOVE THIS SONG (I also love anti flag)
    :D

  30. A.... C....

    well done friend... well done 

  31. j.... m....

    Omg that trumpet part though just ohhhh :-)

    j.... m....

    SAD THAT IT IS SO SHORT

  32. c.... b....

    Its a good video and this is one of my favorite anti flag songs but trying to learn the lyrics is hard when they don't pop up in time

  33. I.... I....

    i got the same yamaha guitar XD

  34. T.... B....

    Dude im brony but that you just said must not be here ¬¬

  35. J.... S....

    Cool video dude !

    Awesome song *-*

  36. B.... ....

    Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, and Rise Against should collaborate to make the greatest Anarchist's Anthem ever!

    B.... ....

    I saw Anti-Flag and Rise Against at the same concert. AFI was the 3rd band though, that would be dope if Bad Religion performed

  37. D.... I....

    Some great bands like Rise Against and Anti-Flag would be like Bad Religion, Black Flag, Reagan Youth, The Dead Kennedys. And then there's some more obscure ones, they appeal to a more specific taste, bands like Leftover Crack, Dayglo Abortions, and Deathraid.

  38. R.... G....

    Fuck you... its a great band.

  39. B.... ....

    ...Okay, I'm a Brony, and even I'm pissed off by what you just said, because it has nothing to do with Punk Rock, and this is a Punk Rock video.

  40. B.... B....

    To be a Brony is to live your life with friendship, not giving a shit about what others think. To be a Brony is to be against things that would go against the magic of friendship. You scream loud and proud (unless you're Fluttershy). Fuck dragons, fuck running out of cider, fuck Discord. Anytime you can, you speak out against lying to your friends. You live for Friendship and for Magic!

  41. B.... ....

    To be a Punk is to live your life as you wish, not giving a shit about what others think. To be a Punk is to be against being put down and putting down others. You scream loud and proud, fuck racism, fuck sexism, fuck homophobia! Anytime you can, you speak out against the tyranny of the Government as it is! You live for Revolution and for Change!

  42. A.... W....

    This video really speaks the truth about the dyer state of the current world which we all live in.

    Capitalism. NO!

    Anarchism. YES!

  43. D.... R....

    the ska part is the best, anti-flag should do more of that ska-punk stuff

  44. D.... R....

    first thought yep

  45. S.... A....

    anti-flag is the best.

  46. N.... ....

    Eeee... The Casualties , Gallows and old (first album) Corrosion Of Confornity :3

  47. N.... N....

    AntiFlag and an 88-name ò_ô

  48. A.... ....

    My interpretation of the song is different, they are talking against racism and divisions in the people,

  49. S.... ....

    worst font ever :)

  50. F.... ....

    searched so long for this song :D

  51. S.... C....

    rise against is punk. listen to the lyrics before you say they arent

  52. J.... ....

    I LIVE for the trumpet at the two twenty mark UNF.

  53. T.... N....

    Actually, it made perfect sense. The commercial I got before the video was for toilet paper and it was in Spanish.

  54. J.... K....

    That comment made no sense, except for the John Green quote.

  55. c.... ....

    i would love to be called punk. i listen to punk music all the time and its like the most badass "label"

  56. c.... ....

    just discovered this band. its so awesome!

  57. T.... ....

    I label them as 'melodic hardcore'.

  58. T.... N....

    what the hizzeck in the world of Daisy, French the llama makeup is expensive. why the balls did i get a toilet paper commercial in spanish??????

  59. Z.... ....

    *Salutes all of soldiers of all countries*

  60. y.... ....

    Everyone needs to shut the hell up about what is punk and what isn't. Just shut the hell up and enjoy the music.

  61. W.... ....

    I think in most cases, people would label Rise Against "hardcore Punk"
    this is coming from a die-hard Rise fan :)

  62. M.... ....

    Two Steps From Hell? ;)

  63. T.... ....

    Rise Against is NOT PUNK? Don't kid me. Have you listen to Join the Ranks, 401 Kill, Alive and Well, Reception Fades, Dead Ringer, Blood-red, White and Blue, To The Core, Last Chance Blueprint, State of the Union, Chamber the Cartridge, Ready to Fall, Bricks, Drones, Collapse, Grammatizator, Voice of Dissent, Disparity by Design and the such?

  64. N.... ....

    You listened to State of the Union, 401 Kill and Blood Red White and Blue yet?

  65. P.... W....

    NoFX, Bad Religion, and Pennywise are real punk bands. Rise Against is not punk. end of story. anti flag is somewhere in the middle, but they know what theyre talking about

  66. P.... W....

    ya, a guitar really detracts from the ideals shown in the song, and neither do pictures of the band

  67. F.... B....

    @foreverisalie713 I would say that it's about war. The "eugenic errors" I assume they're talking about are governments bombing and invading until a country fits the image they've deemed correct. Thousands of innocent people die who had nothing to do with the original issue and the countries are left off worse than before.

  68. b.... ....

    @foreverisalie713 maybe you are right, it's not completely obvious though, anyway...

  69. f.... ....

    @butcer83 I don't really think it's about war....I think it's about the state of the world where we all work and get drug tested and have products shoved down our throats from the tv. everyone just walks around like zombies buying and buying shit they don't need instead of living.

  70. W.... T....

    @ALLoutHeadbanger couldn't said it any better

  71. E.... F....

    @Sturmtiger444 No Capitalism can be a good thing, Fuck Corporatism!

  72. A.... ....

    Fuck capitalism! Fuck imperalism!

  73. J.... f....

    DAM you dont hear this alot anymore i wonder why : / epic song epic music this should be blasting with 5 million people even more sad though D:

  74. F.... ....

    @irockursock5 ugh same with mine and she even hasn't heard8 or more songs ;l

  75. H.... C....

    @anotherdeadmeat Try Strike Anywhere and No Trigger. there pretty similar to Anti-Flag

  76. J.... F....

    You know what I love about Anti-flag? I learn something every time I listen to their songs in this song I learned about Eugenics... and found another reason to dislike the government

  77. S.... B....

    the songs meaning is way too powerful lol

  78. M.... ....

    Trumpet solo at 2:23 <33 that makes the song haha

  79. S.... D....

    @ChaosDragon018 I fucking love every last one of them bands. There all perfect sounding and lyrics to me!!

  80. D.... M....

    @errorafterdark I know what you mean. I get made fun of all the time for not liking jennifer lopez or katy perry at my school. But it can be fun being the only person I know who knows any rock bands.

  81. N.... ....

    @anotherdeadmeat NoFX, Bad Religion, Pennywise are some pretty good bands, though they may sound different from what you may expect.

  82. E.... ....

    great song bti couldnt follow the lyrics

  83. S.... D....

    @errorafterdark Correct. Anarchy is not all about violence... Look up a woman called Emma Goldman. She is one of the uppermost legendary Anarchist pioneers of her time. I will send you a quote from her into your inbox becuase it is to long for the comment bored and also if you wish to know what "punk" and to be it is all about fill free to also inbox me about it and i'll share with you all I know.

  84. S.... D....

    @errorafterdark Well this falls under the genre of Punk Rock. Actually listen to these lyrics there all great and have great meaning if you haven't already. And what happens with most young people they will sing the lyrics to songs and not know what there singing. Well these guys are basically Anarchists and as so am I. All there songs have strong meaning and if you haven't listen hard to the lyrics and see what they really mean.

  85. A.... t....

    That guitar! It's the same brand, color, and neck shape as mine! Its a Ibanez Gio Midnight

  86. G.... M....

    @stanfordbouvier Homophobe.

  87. b.... B....

    @butcer83 gay

  88. J.... F....

    i love that this music always has a message behind it it's not just mindless lyrics, but yeah the pics didn't rlly fit the vid but still thnx for putting the lyrics up they are the most important part of the song.

  89. b.... ....

    The lyrics were nicely put in the clip but the pics are far away from the main purpose of the song which is to talk about war. Nice try though :)

  90. b.... ....

    Τhe lyrics wre nicely put in the clip but the pics especially the guitar were completely away from the main point of the song which talks about war. Hope we see something more complete. Nice try though. :)

  91. J.... W....

    This song is fantastic. Lyrics are so important, glad to see em..
