Comments, questions but most important, corrections are welcomed
Tune down ½ step (one fret)
This is one forgotten song in rock history. It should be up there with
Highway to hell, Paradise city, Master of puppets etc. But it's not.
Perhaps that makes it even better, we know something they don't.
It's a cool riff aswell, Fig 4 is not right, but that's not that important.
Blackie Lawless for president!!! WASP NATION = THE ONLY NATION! !!

Lyrics:
Father come save us from this madness we're under
God of creation are we blind?
Cause some here are slaves that worship guns that spit thunder
The children that you've made have lost their minds
This monster that we call the earth is bleeding
Cause the children have been left alone too long
This thing that we've made is fat and feeds on the hate
Of the millions that it's taught to sing the song
The Headless Children
The screams that fill the night, fill the night, fill the night, fill the night
The Headless Children
The madness steals the light, steals the light, steals the light, steals the light
Timebombs in the hands of all the wicked war babies
Light the fuse of temptation and we all burn
Four horsemen sit high up in the saddle
And waiting and ride the bloody trail of no return
Sleeping in the arms of a nightmare
And wake to find we've been away too long
This Frankenstein of flesh stitched together back from death
And preying on the souls of everyone
The Headless Children
The screams that fill the night, fill the night, fill the night, fill the night
The Headless Children
The madness steals the light, steals the light, steals the light, steals the light
