Kamelot - The Human Stain lyrics

See the cemetery sky carmine red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
It's the human stain
Talk about the growing hunger
Ask why with deep concern
Don't you think the human race
Is ceaselessly vain

But it hurts to be alive my friend
In this silent tide
We're driftwood passing by
Don't you wish you were a child again
Just for a minute just for a minute more
Hear the ticking of a clock
The sound of life it'self
No one really wants to die to save the world
Tell me that you're torn asunder
From how we fail to learn
And tell me as the Earth goes under
Where's your anger now?

So it hurts to be alive, my friend
In this masquerade where
All one day must die don't you wish you
Were unborn again just for a minute
Just for a minute more

Tick Tock
The ticking that could tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The loss of your divine prosperity

'Cause it costs to be alive, my friend
And this life that someone
Merely gave to you that's the price you pay
Minute by minute you beg for a minute more
