 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
  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
 1):
  Oh why do we  pity the dead?
 2):
  Oh why do we  pity the dead?  Pity the dead
 3)
  Oh why do we  pity the dead?
  why do  we  pity  the dead?
  why do  we  pity  the dead?
  Pity the dead
 1): EE DD GG AA
 
 2):
  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...
