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:

Verse 1 with Riff A twice (both guitars)
=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.

Verse 2 w/Riff A twice
Don't you see in their eyes how they trust us?
But man in his sin turns that trust into horrible pain.
When God says to man "Give account of your life's work."
We must be prepared to reply "Your creation I loved."
