Undertow (One Life Lost)

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
