Derelict Herds |
| Someone died for looking too far |
| While I was asleep in my house |
| A child was killed, I heard it from a friend |
| A war raged in a distant land |
| Caused me to linger on a piece of text |
| Someone died |
| Not here, never here |
| There was a fever |
| There is a failure |
| Are you a believer? |
| Then someone lied to you |
| You hold it closer to your chest |
| There was a meaning for this test |
| But you forgot and it’s gone now |
| You were controlled somehow |
| There was a mean time |
| An invitation of sorts |
| I remember life |
| I, I was sick with sorrow |
| I’d fallen asleep |
| And dreamt of my sins here |
| It was your turn |
| Adamant smile and said, «Thank you» |
| There was a sickness right in the family |
| While I shuddered in the cold |
| Woman hanged for her sins while I craved mine |
| An old man drowned in this life herd |
| As I made amends with my fathers |
| Someone died |
| Not here, never here |
