A very cool song, by a very cool band. I think there are three guitars =
in the song all together so tune your guitar(s) down half a step.
And remember lots and lots of xxXXDISTORTIONXXxx and GRUNT =
listen to the song first though
I don't think this is tabbed yet so here it goes...
The intro is a fast metal riff:

=0D
Tonight it's alright to destroy God's creation. =
They don't have a voice, so who cares how we're treating them here?
If you read his word, you should know that He Blessed them.
I know your defense is to say, God said "dominate them."
=0D
(even slower)w/Riff B
Do you think dominate means to kill just for sport? =
Wear the fur from their backs, train them for circus acts.

Don't you see in their eyes how they trust us?
But man in his sin turns that trust into horrible pain.

We must be prepared to reply "Your creation I loved."

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TOURNIQUET tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
