Verse

1) There's a boy in crimson rags with a grimace and a spoon

and a little sullen girl face-up staring at the moon

And there's no one around to hear the lonesome cries

Then they pass away alone into the night

Following the same pattern:

2)Well you've seen the disease, suffering and decay

and you whisper to yourself blissfully "It's okay"

and you still refuse the possibility

That the dead are better off than we

3)In the end you may find there's no guiding subtle light

no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong and right

Just eternal silence and dormancy

And a final everlasting peace

Prechorus

Chorus

Why do we pity the dead?

Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head

(Are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head -> Chorus (2) )

Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why

Chorus

1):

Oh why do we pity the dead?

Chorus

2):

Oh why do we pity the dead? Pity the dead

Chorus

3)

Oh why do we pity the dead?

why do we pity the dead?

why do we pity the dead?

Pity the dead

Tell me what you see, tell me what you know

Is there anyone who lives a painless life?

If there is, show me so

The destitute and famished, demonic and the banished

(*) 2nd guitar plays E one octave higher and arpeggiated

dejected and the ostracized, the brainwashed and the paralyzed

(*) 2nd guitar plays E one octave higher and arpeggiated

the conquered and objectified, the few who see the other side

Tell me what you see

It's a mortal wretched cacophony - Let's go...
