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
