Derelict Herds
Someone died for looking too farWhile I was asleep in my houseA child was killed, I heard it from a friendA war raged in a distant landCost me to linger on a piece of text
Someone diedNot here, never here
There was a feverThere is a failureAre you a believer?That someone lied to you
You hold it closer to your chestThere was a meaning for this testBut you forgot and it's gone nowYou were controlled somehow
There was a mean timeAn invitation of sortsI remember lifeI, I was sick with sorrow
I'd fallen asleepAnd dreamt of my sins hereIt was your turnAdamant smile and said, "Thank you"
There was a sickness right in the familyWhile I shuddered in the coldWoman hanged for her sins while I craved mineAn old man drowned in this life herdAs I made amends with my fathers
Someone diedNot here, never here
