I was born yesterday, 300 years ago
And there ain't no explanation
For this situation that I'm in
And I don't want to live forever
That's just the way it's always beenAll of the children I've had in my life
I've watched them grow up and
Grow old and then die
And my wives, oh how I've missed my wives
Why won't the angels come take me away?Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the people that I've left behind
Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the reason that I'm still aliveI am ever human being
It's this curse, it's this gift, it's the blood
It's the blood and I am the chosen one
I am the chose oneTears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the people that I've left behind
Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the reason that I'm still aliveThis can't go on forever
(Forever)
This can't go on forever
Somebody take me away
Somebody take me awayTears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the people that I've left behind
Tears drip 'cause a quiver in your lip
When I remember the reason that I'm still aliveI am ever human being
It's this curse, it's this gift, it's the blood
It's the blood and I am the chosen one
I am the chose one
