Kamelot The Human Stain Lyrics

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 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



Tic toc

The ticking that could tear asunder

The beating from a
heart of stone

The lust 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
