The Human Stain - Kamelot

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 itself

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
