One life lost is one too many One life lost is blood on our soul One species gone a book closed eternally One life lost to the Undertow There's blood on my hands that I can't wash free I kneel in the river praying to be saved I wring out my shirt and I weep with the knowing That one life lost is too many One life lost is too many One life lost is one too many One species gone is a crime of the soul One planet waiting to shake and transform From the greed and malevolence of the Undertow We long to be the angels we feel in our hearts But we struggle and claw what we love apart And as long as this legacy lives I'll have blood on my hands For one life lost is too many One life lost is too many One life lost is one too many One life lost is blood on our soul One species gone a book closed eternally One life lost to the Undertow When I walk the field of flowers I want to know for whom I sing I want redemption washing us clean I want to hear freedom, sweet freedom ring For one life lost is too many One life lost is too many One life lost is one too many One life lost is blood on our soul One species gone is a book closed eternally One life lost to the Undertow There's a pain in my heart that wakes me There's blood on my hands I can't wash it There's a cold hard wisdom in what I know One life, one life, one life, one life, one life, one life One Life
